Managing taxonomies
Categorised under: Information architecture, Knowledge management
James Kelway has written a post on the process for managing taxonomies. To quote:
Taxonomy creep inevitably occurs to all sites and there is a need to be able to monitor and adjust the taxonomies without impacting on the user experience or the workflow of the content producers.
Here I propose to set out a process that businesses can employ that will ensure their taxonomies are accurate. That they reflect the industry, user groups and business objectives of the site and will utilize their web technologies and people available.
