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.
