As
organisations across the globe commit to digital transformation, well-managed
taxonomies are more critical than ever in supporting a wide range of business applications.
Amidst growing industry uptake of controlled vocabularies, ontologies and
knowledge graphs, taxonomists are at the forefront of helping organisations manage
content and data of unprecedented breadth, depth and variety.

Taxonomies: Practical Approaches to Developing and Managing
Vocabularies for Digital Information is a comprehensive
guide to building, implementing and using taxonomies. Featuring
contributions and case examples from some
of the world?s leading experts, the book supports professional development through
practical advice and real-world case studies. Readers will learn best practice
for the everyday realities of working with stakeholders, sponsors and systems
to ensure that taxonomies remain useful and relevant. Addressing all the key stages
of the process of building and implementing a taxonomy, including scoping, user testing and validation, and the
creation of governance processes, the book is invaluable for the optimisation
of systems for users and stakeholders alike.

"It is difficult to think of a business case for not investing in this book."
