Making it Real: Getting Value, Support & Usage from Taxonomies
Making content discoverable is the job of a well-constructed, robust taxonomy — and a mission-critical objective for today’s organizations. Designed,developed,
implemented,and managed effectively,a taxonomy or categorization scheme ensures people are finding and using precise information in myriad internal data collections
and websites.
Now in its 6th year, Taxonomy Boot Camp has proven to be an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in 2 days of tightly integrated, interactive sessions with
some of the leading practitioners and thought leaders in taxonomies. Sessions and speakers will explore the state of taxonomies and the technologies involved, and
challenge you to consider how taxonomies and information organization approaches are evolving – and where you’ll fit in that future. The program highlights case
studies, practical and thought-engaging sessions on ontologies, folksonomies, taxonomies in Sharepoint, lessons learned, metrics, demonstrating value, governance,
and taxonomy management. Join others working in content management,taxonomies,knowledge management,information architecture,or any information-rich function
for informative, insightful discussions.
