Thanks for the warm welcome - Christine and Seth - I pasted in your replies below and will respond to both herein. Christine: It's great to hear somebody else...
Hi all, I'd like to introduce you to a new technique that could double or triple an organization's investment in a good taxonomy. Imagine that each node in the...
Hi Bob, I am trying to frame your ideas within my understanding of metadata and tagging. I'll pull out pieces of your message and respond to them individually....
Interesting idea, but it seems to me to be a step backwards rather than forwards. Let me use an example from my organization: In the past we had a search...
Hi Richard, I think you nicely summarized the dilemma. Yes, in effect this is a keyword tagging process. But I don't see this necessarily as a step backward,...
The initial post and the responses all mention relevance. My own belief is that relevance is specific to each individual and as such, its use as an ordering...
Marcia, While you are correct that relevance means different things to different people, I think that there are some things that can be sensibly done. For...
Hello, I am working on a business case for enterprise search and the design and development of an enterprise taxonomy and ontology. In addition, the business...
Deserie - Can you give us some sense of the scope? The size of the organization and nature of its work? Or, the estimated size of the taxonomy/ontology? ...
Hi Deserie, Here are some of the parameters for a typical taxonomy project. One consideration is whether you are going to do this internally or with external...
Hi, I am doing a study on "Ontologies for ETDs" (Electronic Theses & Dissertations). So i wish to know about the following information urgently. - Major ETDs...
When it comes to full text search, the types of ranking you mention certainly make sense. I think we have to tackle the relevance issue with a detailed...
Per Seth's reference below to tagging, I had an offline insightful discussion with an individual who has lived through the realities of "never keep up". Based...
Hello everyone. It's been a while since I have posted in here. I am interviewing for a taxonomy developer position. The job isn't available until January 1,...
Seth, Thank you so much for providing the parameters for a typical taxonomy project. This is exactly the type of information I was looking for. As far as...
Hi Marcia, Ever since Cyril Claverdon and his colleagues at Cranfield developed their metrics for precision and recall in the late 'fifties there has been...
Hi Paula, I wouldn't say last resort, but certainly not all content requires it... I Seth ... From: TaxoCoP@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TaxoCoP@yahoogroups.com]On...
I am glad that was useful. The next level of granularity would involve identifying specific audiences and doing a high level content review. Of the 100k -...
Christine, I am curious if your process at Raytheon was similar to the one I outlined for Deserie... My guess would be that there are some important...
A well-planned system deployment can cause many tags to be filled in automatically; date, time, business/org, function, author, author's location (the power of...
I've just posted a call for speakers for Enterprise Search Summit at http:// www.enterprisesearchsummit.com/CallForSpeakers.shtml. Enterprise Search Summit...
Yes, it's a bit theory in theory vs. theory in practice, isn't it? I don't have the luxury of being a consultant most times. Has our team used all of those ...
Paula, by "tagging" below, I take it that you are exclusively referring to adding "keywords" and not all types of tagging, such as adding metadata which...
Bob - I've been reading with interest the responses to your post on a number of lists. I wonder if "meme owners" will really emerge - will people take the time...
Having been politely and firmly warned by Seth Earley not to lurk on this site, I am taking this opportunity to announce my presence. That said, I am new to...
Hello All, Nice to find this group out there. My name is Jordan, I'm currently working as Search Functionality Manager at YellowPages.com. I'm responsible...
