Taxonomies and other knowledge organization systems for content and knowledge management

Hedden Information Management provides expertise, resources, and training in creating various kinds of knowledge organization systems for both published and internal/enterprise digital content:

  • Hierarchical taxonomies – for browsing topics tagged to content
  • Faceted taxonomies – for filtering or refining results by topical aspects
  • Thesauri – for consistent indexing and accurate retrieval of large numbers of documents
  • Metadata schema – for effective content management, organization, and retrieval
  • Ontologies – for modeling semantic relationships between defined classes and their entities
  • Book indexes – for indicating page numbers of topics and names in printed books

Coming up April 29, 2025: “Connecting Users to Content through Taxonomies” full-day workshop
