Hello, I am working on developing an enterprise wide conceptual data model. I wanted to know how developing a taxonomy is useful for the data model.? Thank you...
Syed, Good question... We have the same issue. Dan Chamberlain Sr. Systems Architect Dominion Resources Services, Inc. 701 East Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23219...
Is this the type of model that you are looking for? This slide came from a presentation by Denise Bedford. It is an old version (1994) data model used for the...
I look at taxonomy development and data model development as related but orthogonal endeavors. For many elements in a data model, you will need value lists - a...
Kathy, Thank you for the slide, however I was looking for a solution more deep in the data model. As James mentioned, taxonomy can be used to develop a product...
They aren't separate things. A taxonomy is usually subject based and could be described as one piece of the metadata within the classification. If you set up a...
Kathy, Thanks for your input. Here is what I have to do. I have several bubjects such as Finance, Human Asset etc. Now I am categorizing my Finance subject...
Joanne, Thank you for your valuable input and explaination. Syed Joanne Cheigh <jcheigh@...> wrote: Syed, I agree with James' earlier explanation of the...
Great discussion on taxonomies versus data architecture. I've just gotten the time to respond to this. I just spoke at a metadata conference to a room full...
Seth - ... To paraphrase... "data is definable & unambiguous" Maybe in theory, but decidedly NOT in practice. Let my try this analogy to see if it works... In...
David, That's a fascinating analogy, which makes me think that someone should write a thesis comparing the IT practice of overloading data elements with ...
James - ... Single context? Is there such a thing for words/terms? I've built a collection of mostly short terms (words, initialisms, acronyms, ...). The list...
This is certainly an example of ambiguity of terminology and application of data in more than one context. My point is that in transactional systems things...
Kathy's obviously quite right; I would add: a taxonomy is a classification (ie a classification scheme) - more specifically, a taxonomy is a hierarchically...
I would add to this that a common activity in developing data models and taxonomies is process analysis - an understanding of user tasks and the information...
Hello TaxoCoP, Thank you for the opportunity to join your group. I am the information services supervisor at Project Management Institute, Inc. in Newtown...
Hi TaxoCoPs... I'm Adrian Walker, ex IBM Yorktown Labs, now at a company called Reengineering. I work on a system for reasoning over taxonomies, ontologies,...
I'm thinking about something on user testing of taxonomies. Has it been done? Marcia Morante KCurve, Inc. (718)881-5915 - office (917)821-2087 - mobile ...
Hello, I am Steve Tolkin, a principal architect at Fidelity Investments. I have a Master's in computer science and and have been working in this field, and...
Hi Steve, thanks for sharing. I am, unfortunately of the school that says taxonomies do not necessarily have to be hierarchies, though they often are, but also...
Steve, Thanks for sharing your excellent description of taxonomy. The point you made about concept taxonomy vs. term taxonomy is well taken. The principals are...
Steve, if I could develop taxonomies for subject domains without considering user needs, local vocabulary, available content and resistance to actually tagging...
We have in connection with other topics, but I think we could focus more specifically on testing and validation in a call. Goo topic. Seth ... it been ... ...
