[Sigcr-l] PhD Student Research Help

[Ok Nam Park]

Helllo,

I'm a phd student at Information School at University of Washington.

I'm preparing a dissertation and I'd like to study the controlled vocabulary or taxonomy design, classification systems teams to see how they work.

I'm looking for possible study sites for the study, which are in the middle of design, or plan to design a taxonomy in the near future.

I would like to interview designers and a manager of the team, observe some regular meetings, and take a look at documents if they have any. Therefore, probably the teams located in Washington states might be great so that I can observe meetings.

I'm struggling with finding appropriate study sites. Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks a lot,

Best regards,
Oknam Park
