Frank Branch and Aaron Bradley from Electronic Arts gave a presentation on taxonomy development in a linked data world. They discussed how taxonomies are now used for more than just search and indexing, and support tasks like personalization, content enrichment and analytics. They explained how ontologies provide taxonomy scope and context, and require taxonomies to be networks rather than trees. Content models are also driving taxonomy usage, where querying concepts can facilitate content creation and taxonomies must support precision to function in content graphs. The key lessons were that taxonomy development has changed and taxonomies now live in networks to support varied uses across many content endpoints.

Because the world we live in is big and complex, we need
to go about the job of taxonomy development in a way
that matches that.
The big idea
5. TAXONOMY DEVELOPMENT IN A LINKED DATA WORLD - TAXONOMY BOOTCAMP LONDON 2019
Taxonomy use cases then and now
Traditional
● Search
● Document indexing and
faceted browsing
● Basic measurement
Contemporary
● Used to control reasoning
and algorithms
● Intelligent content models
● Personalization
● Semantic annotation and
content enrichment
● Rich analytics and
measurement
● Search
7. TAXONOMY DEVELOPMENT IN A LINKED DATA WORLD - TAXONOMY BOOTCAMP LONDON 2019
Ontologies change taxonomy usage
● Personalized views of content
● Aid in forming recommendations
● Generates content for any device,
anywhere, and everywhere
● Creates insights to learn from our
data
● Focuses on your organizational
needs with connection to the wider
world
● Only then can it enable better
search

Ontologies change the taxonomist’s process
● User warrant must take in a broader
group of stakeholders
● Ontology needs to come first
● Ontology creates taxonomy scope
and context
● Taxonomies in a linked data world
are networks, not trees
● Collaboration becomes distributed
amongst many different people
across that network
16. TAXONOMY DEVELOPMENT IN A LINKED DATA WORLD - TAXONOMY BOOTCAMP LONDON 2019
Taxonomy development has changed
● In a big, complex world the uses of
taxonomies are increasingly varied,
and extend far past controlled
vocabularies for search
● Each taxonomy lives in a network of
content, relationships and
algorithmic reasoning
● Each taxonomy must be tailored to
its environment, be personalizable
and support multiple content
endpoints
