Taxonomy Engineering Roadmap

Taxonomy

Taxonomy, is the classification of organisms in an ordered system that indicates natural relationships.

Purpose:

Taxonomies are normally used to facilitate access to information. For the most of tasks and purposes the Taxonomy will be used to connect, relate and classify content. The Taxonomy will enhance content categorization and organization in addition to the ease of access and search.

Planning

The Taxonomy should reflect the objectives of the project. It should be produced by a cross-functional team which includes business, technical, information management, subject matter experts and content creation stakeholders. The Taxonomy implementation and usage in the project will be defined.

Design

The design phase will include the below steps:

Identify, gather and review resources

A set of verbs, nouns, terms and vocabularies will be collected. This list will be reviewed and refined by the ad-hoc team created in the planning phase. A final list should be defined.

Ontology Engineering

The vocabularies will then be ontology engineered by the Information Systems expert with help from the domain subject matter expert. The Ontology will consist of hierarchy of concepts, terms and relations.

Implementation

The domain Ontology will then be used to organize inventory and website content. This will be done by the content publishers. The ontology will be transformed into set of categories, labels and meta-data.

Production

The content publishers will add the set of categories, labels and meta-data to the content management system. This step is done before adding any content.

Training


The content publishers will be trained how to use the Taxonomy when publishing content and will be also trained how to enhance improve or modify the taxonomy based on technology and requirements change and evolvement.

The Semantic Web

Semantic Web aims to create a meaning and define inter-relationship for information available on the web In the early stages of the World Wide Web (web) it was necessary to develop standards to view web content (HTML language) and to create communication channels (N-Tier applications, email, ftp, etc.). As the web started to be the world’s largest knowledge base, accessible world wide, it became important to develop tools to transfer knowledge between cultures. However, it is still not possible for applications and agents to interoperate with other applications and agents without having a predefined, human created common framework of the meaning of the information being transferred on both sides. Semantic Web (SW) alleviates this problem by providing a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries [W3C Semantic Web, 2019]. A clear example on SW application is schema.org. Google, Bing, Yahoo use schema...

Arabs In London

I was not able to watch Arabs in London episodes during the last holy month of Ramadan. I watched it recently on MBC. I was really impressed by the performance of some actors and actresses. The most impressive one was Mais Hamdan who was able to present the Palestinian accent efficiently. This TV series was written and directed by Anwar Qawadri a Syrian director who studied and lived in London. The below video is about 8 minutes show when Sami finds out that his friend Eddy (Adnan) passed away.
