Whether you are brand new to the world of taxonomy or are looking to solidify your foundational knowledge, this workshop equips you with the key concepts to help you hit the ground running on your own taxonomy work. Starting with an accessible, practical examination of what taxonomies are, learn how they fit into the information and content management landscape and the most common use cases, including dynamic content, search and discovery, and reporting. Explore the three pillars of what makes a good taxonomy good: strategy and style (term selection and form, relationships, synonyms, and other properties), governance (roles and responsibilities, processes, and documentation), and technology (technical standards, taxonomy tools, metrics, and analytics needed to implement, integrate, and monitor a taxonomy across platforms). Hear about the more advanced approaches such as knowledge graphs, ontologies, and AI tools. Clark also gives a special deep dive on practical taxonomy change management, including policies, approval workflows, and various methods of versioning and tracking.
The Taxonomy 101 workshop is included with the Taxonomy Boot Camp or Platinum Pass options.
