FUMSI Report: Folio on Taxonomies and Tagging
22nd October 2009
"Taxonomy is a topic close to my heart. I have very fond memories of my time spent building a "taxonomy of everything" for tagging local news stories. Specialist taxonomy roles exist both within organisations and as consultancy positions but taxonomy creation also forms a part of many other information architecture and library roles."
