THE PROGRAM:

There is a lot of mumbo-jumbo like the word "taxonomy" that is being thrown
around to describe how to manage so-called unstructured content like
business documents, web site pages, and old fashioned technical reports
and articles. On the one hand we want to remember what we already know 
about how to create a useful core catalog record to describe a content 
object so
it can be found again later when needed. On the other hand there are some
bad habits and obsolete ideas like inverted file indexes that we need to
get beyond. This talk is about what I have seen in dozens of applied
information management projects over the past few years, and how you can
take advantage of what you already know to solve big problems like these
in your own organizations.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the presentation on taxonomies in
November, PVC is hosting a second program on the topic--focusing on
"applied" information that you can take back to your organization.


Joseph Busch is the Founder and a Principal of Taxonomy Strategies, and is
an authority in the field of information science, a Past President of the
American Society for Information Science and Technology (www.asis.org),
and an appointee to the Board of Directors of the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative (dublincore.org). He is the author of many articles on indexing,
classification research, and information retrieval systems.
