Taxonomy BootCamp 2019 | Nov. 4 - 5, 2019
JW Marriott, Washington, DC
The Leading Conference on Taxonomy Building & Management
Taxonomy Boot Camp is the world’s leading conference dedicated to exploring the successes, challenges, methodologies and products for taxonomies. Join us and share your experiences, network with peers, and get incredible insight on taxonomies, ontologies, folksonomies, tagging mechanisms and other techniques for organizing information at this one-of-a-kind event.
This year’s Taxonomy Boot Camp will explore how we can use our skills to help model and structure understanding to support all types of emerging technologies like AI and machine learning. Taxonomists and ontologists have long played the role of translators from human to machine and are thus key players in the developing world of AI. We will look at methodologies to better discover and codify how humans think, from user research techniques to knowledge modeling approaches. We will also look at how taxonomies and ontologies are being designed for use in “smart” applications.
Taxonomy Boot Camp is designed for everyone involved with taxonomies, from those new to the field to seasoned experts (and everyone in between). Beginner sessions cover the nuts and bolts, while more advanced sessions give experienced practitioners insight into how others have evolved their approaches. Hear case studies, how-to sessions, and practical talks on taxonomy tools and methods, and cutting-edge developments in the field.
You can expect to leave Taxonomy Boot Camp with new friends and business allies and fresh ideas and strategies. Join us this November to move your organization and career forward. View the 2018 Taxonomy Boot Camp program now!
