Taxonomy

Taxonomy: categorization or classification based upon a predefined system

Finding relevant, concise information quickly is a key aspect of effectively using the valuable knowledge and information within your company. In order to quickly and concisely provide the right information to knowledge workers across your enterprise, the information needs to be organized.

A well-designed and implemented taxonomy will organize your company's information so that users can intuitively locate information matching their precise needs. And they won't have to know specific keywords, search engine logic, or sort through the huge set of links typically returned with enterprise search.

Categorizing all of the knowledge and intellectual assets contained within your enterprise content is not necessarily easy to do. Creating a taxonomy that puts all content in the right categories for your enterprise requires planning, expertise and analysis. We are proud to have designed an deployed taxonomy applications for clients such as the US Army, IBM, MetLife, DuPont, and many others

Advanced Document Sciences has successfully created and implemented taxonomies in many different application areas since 1998. We use both top-down and bottom-up approaches to taxonomy construction to define very robust taxonomies with very high precision. We have a proven, detailed methodology for taxonomy creation and enterprise-wide deployment in portals, knowledge and information sharing applications, document and records management systems, content management systems, and other innovative application areas.
