Organizing Information for Search & Discovery
Taxonomies, classification, categorization—helping users find actionable information that is buried in today’s huge repositories of enterprise
information is a vital business imperative. Built and implemented effectively, a taxonomy or categorization scheme is the secret to navigating Web sites and
internal data collections, thereby ensuring that users find precise answers to their search queries.
