Taxonomy Essentials
Workshop: Tuesday, January 21st, 2014
Sponsored by the Mile High Denver Chapter of ARMA International

This all day workshop is a fast moving and powerful introduction to both the practical and theoretical aspects of building a taxonomy, thesaurus, or ontology. A well-built taxonomy is part of the foundation for information architecture that underlies content management systems (CMS), web sites, corporate intranets, search retrieval, and access to relevant content in databases. After defining controlled vocabularies and identifying core standards, participants will explore key concepts of taxonomy, thesaurus, indexing, classification, and filtering. Discussion will include the basics of a taxonomy and fundamental term relationships. Attendees will put concepts into practice through multiple exercises on taxonomy, indexing, and related software tools will be demonstrated.

Key take-aways for attendees:
*         Understand the full range of options and applications of taxonomies
*         Understand the basic building blocks of taxonomies and how to create the taxonomy itself
*         Understanding of the power or implementation of the taxonomy
*         Awareness of the underlying architecture and accompanying standards for taxonomies
*         Awareness of case studies and implementations of taxonomies in records management environments
