Designing Enterprise Taxonomy

Designing Enterprise Taxonomy
“Practical Use For Taxonomy Implementation”

What is Enterprise Taxonomy?
-Taxonomy is the practice and science of
Categorization & Classification

Getting Started With Taxonomy
When thinking of Taxonomy it is advantageous to think Categorization & Classification.
Building findable linear structures is based upon the relationships and the clustering of related information.
Classifying multiple linear

Categorization & Classification
Defining usable structures that ensure a consistent and relevant experience for the end user.
There are many mechanisms for categorization that range from alphabetizing to content classification.
Classification comes after the categories of content are agreed upon.
“Liner categorization is an easy approach to simplistic data. Polyhierarchical categorization is used for categorizing complex relationships” -Raymond A. Monaco.

Polyhierarchical Structures
Classical Polyhierarchical Structure

The Linear Taxonomy Structure

The Taxonomy of Tagging
Having users tag data elements, will self identify large amounts of information.
-Raymond A. Monaco.

Relationships Between Classical Structures
The connections between structures defines the relationships, priorities and the value of these interconnections. The connective tissue it the focus not the artifacts.
-Raymond A. Monaco.

Practical Applications
What marketers and advertisers both need to understand is the importance of investing time into proper taxonomy.
All top web properties pay a significant amount of attention to their navigational elements, structure and findability.
Examples of companies that take Taxonomy very seriously.

Semantic Ontology with Taxonomical Interoperability
Applied Semantic Heterogeneity
Semantically Associating Content
Dynamic Taxonomy Associations Based on Content Relationships
Heuristics applied to Taxonomy Dynamically
“The application of Semantic Ontology to Taxonomy Structures (Preferably Poly Hierarchical Structures) is a critical foundation to machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.” Quote, Raymond A. Monaco.

Social Media Taxonomy “Folksonomy”
This is an advanced topic, however once you have a taxonomy in place. The relationship between tagged entities will be more relatable and definable.
Building a structured focus for folksonomy is not the challenge, defining the success metrix is the exacting science.

The Future of Taxonomy
Dynamic Taxonomy
Semantic Taxonomy
Applied Ontology's
Machine Learned Taxonomy
Dynamic Ontological & Semantic Language Learning
Dynamic Tagging of Taxonomical Structures
Semantic Folksonomy
Machine Defined Floksonomy
