[Sigia-l] Taxonomy requirements specifications?

[Seth Earley]

I think the most important aspect of deriving a taxonomy is deciding how it
will be applied.  You need to consider user scenarios in terms of search and
navigation.  The taxo is useful to the extent that it helps users find what
they are looking for and assists content stewards in managing content
through the appropriate lifecycle.

Here is a link to an article I wrote with Wendi Pohs, Chief Taxonomist for
IBM.

Hope that helps.

(I will also be running a taxonomy webinar series that will cover a number
of aspects of taxo development.  When I have the dates I'll post that info.)

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any  sample "requirements specification" ,
"Functional specification" document(s) or any pointers or came across
anything similar.

How do you specific to the vendors your requirements on what the
taxonomy needs to do and accomplish and all such related issues.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  You can email me
directly and I would collate and submit to the list.

Thank You. Much appreciated.

Jay
