Taxonomy Boot Camp 2015

Taxonomy Boot Camp is the only conference dedicated to exploring the successes, challenges, methodologies and products for taxonomies.  Share your experiences, knowledge and work with taxonomies, ontologies, folksonomies, tagging mechanisms and other techniques for organizing information at this one-of-a-kind boutique learning and networking event.

Taxonomies are powerful tools used by a wide range of professionals, from marketers to data scientists, for solving diverse problems from navigation to product information management. This year’s Taxonomy Boot Camp is about highlighting taxonomy's many faces and sharing practical solutions in different real-world environments.   

  • On the web team? Learn how taxonomies can help improve the user experience and dynamically publish web content.
  • Work with enterprise data? Hear about large-scale metadata optimization projects and the role of taxonomy in harmonizing structured data.
