What it is, what skills are needed, an overview of the necessary steps when

management projects can differ from other types of projects.****

*Heather Hedden – “Mapping, Merging and Multilingual Taxonomies” & Marcie
Zaharee – “A Shared Approach to Developing Taxonomies” *****

*Heather* - Taxonomies for content management and information retrieval are
not static; they grow and evolve. Added content, audiences, and strategic
partners may necessitate the bridging of multiple vocabularies. This
presentation examines the methods and presents tips to handle three kinds
of multiple taxonomy situations: (1) mapping one taxonomy to another, (2)
merging two or more taxonomies together, and (3) creating interconnected
taxonomies in more than one language.****

*Marcie* - Having a shared, commonly understood language among stakeholders
to enable communication and knowledge sharing across functional boundaries
is the vision for the MITRE’s Metadata Harmonization (MDH) Project. To
facilitate understanding, visibility, and accessibility of intelligence
community data assets, the MDH team has created a 6-step metadata
harmonization process.  A key step in this process is developing taxonomies
to facilitate discovery of various artifacts.  This presentation will
provide an overview of the MDH workflow process and highlight best
practices for designing and developing a taxonomy.****

*Fred Wergeles – “Favorite CI Analytic Tools that deliver value”*****

This presentation will highlight one or two analytical tools and techniques
that information professionals can use to gain additional insights from the
information they have collected.  Using an interactive real-life case
study, attendees will use the tools that can provide decision makers with a
keener understanding of their industry, markets, competitors and future
business environment.  The presenter will provide “analytical templates”
that can be used to organize, evaluate and assess the information, and
provide guidance to the attendees on when and how to apply the techniques.**
**

*Laura Crandall – “Across the Great Divide: Resilient & Practical
Communication for the Intergenerational Workplace”*****

Do you feel like you can’t get through to colleagues or customers?  Ever
find yourself hoping that your co-workers would comprehend what you need
without having to explain it to them–again?  This fun-filled and
interactive session will uncover the ways we inadvertently impede
communication and how we can gain practical skills for any
interaction–especially where generations mix.****
