Taxonomy & Metadata

Understanding Taxonomy & Metadata

We define a taxonomy as the classification of an organization’s data, information, content, and expertise into a hierarchical structure.

When this agreed-upon classification of terms, keywords, concepts, categories, is applied to your organization's content as metadata it becomes a powerful tool in making information work across the enterprise

Taxonomy and metadata are the core elements of information management.



Where possible a taxonomy should be integrated with content management systems, digital asset management systems, search engines, websites, portals, and any other information management tool that benefits from the functionality, consistency, and efficiency of a controlled vocabulary. A well implemented taxonomy will make information in your company more accessible, easier to locate & re-use, and ultimately, more valuable.
