Abstract:

This book is the third of a three-part series on taxonomies, and covers
putting your taxonomy into use in as many ways as possible to maximize
retrieval for your users. Chapter 1 suggests several items to research and
consider before you start your implementation and integration process. It
explores the different pieces of software that you will need for your system
and what features to look for in each. 

 

Chapter 2 launches with a discussion of how taxonomy terms can be used
within a workflow, connecting two-or more-taxonomies, and intelligent
coordination of platforms and taxonomies. Microsoft SharePoint is a widely
used and popular program, and I consider their use of taxonomies in this
chapter. Following that is a discussion of taxonomies and semantic
integration and then the relationship between indexing and the hierarchy of
a taxonomy. 

 

Chapter 3 ("How is a Taxonomy Connected to Search?") provides discussions
and examples of putting taxonomies into use in practical applications. It
discusses displaying content based on search, how taxonomy is connected to
search, using a taxonomy to guide a searcher, tools for search, including
search engines, crawlers and spiders, and search software, the parts of a
search-capable system, and then how to assemble that search-capable system.
This chapter also examines how to measure quality in search, the different
kinds of search, and theories on search from several famous
theoreticians-two from the 18th and 19th centuries, and two contemporary.
Following that is a section on inverted files, parsing, discovery, and
clustering. While you probably don't need a comprehensive understanding of
these concepts to build a solid, workable system, enough information is
provided for the reader to see how they fit into the overall scheme. This
chapter concludes with a look at faceted search and some possibilities for
search interfaces. 

 

Chapter 4, "Implementing a Taxonomy in a Database or on a Website," starts
where many content systems really should-with the authors, or at least the
people who create the content. This chapter discusses matching up various
groups of related data to form connections, data visualization and text
analytics, and mobile and e-commerce applications for taxonomies. Finally,
Chapter 5 presents some educated guesses about the future of knowledge
organization.
