Intermediate/Advanced Taxonomy and Metadata Design Friday afternoon, 1/2 day seminar Intermediate/Advanced Taxonomy and Metadata Design Amy J. Warner, Ph.D., www.lexonomy.com, awarner@lexonomy.com As use of taxonomies and metadata are maturing on the web, people are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their understanding and use of these. This workshop is intended as a follow-on to the basic workshop, or as a workshop for those who have already built search vocabularies and navigation schemes and want to further hone their skills and knowledge. We will cover the following in this workshop: Content Analysis: We will cover the steps required in a content analysis and how it can potentially result in a complete metadata table, covering all aspects of content objects that are to be tagged, including those used for content management and workflow. User Testing: Where user testing fits into metadata and taxonomy design both near the beginning and near the end of the development process. · Facet Analysis & Organization of Vocabularies: How to perform a facet analysis to divide a significant number of vocabulary terms into a set of basic categories, and how to identify good relationships between them. Advanced Topics in Software and Management: How the software for automatic classification works and where you might want to use it, as well as thesaurus management packages and strategies for managing a dynamic vocabulary. This workshop will include a case study as a way to practically follow the entire process described above and give attendees practical examples to understand and follow.
