One of Iknow's core strengths is working with classification, taxonomies, metadata, and thesauri. Classification, taxonomies, and metadata are some of the most important, and challenging, aspects of knowledge management. Classification involves the logical arranging of information for the purpose of finding it quickly when it is needed. The structure of this arrangement is usually referred to as a taxonomy or an ontology. Creating taxonomies and developing optimal metadata is quite difficult, since our language has many ways of expressing the same or similar ideas, each individual mentally organizes his or her thoughts in ways unique to their understanding and vocabulary, and each individual’s mental model differs from that of his colleagues’ in any organization.
Iknow has deep expertise in working with all aspects of classification, metadata, taxonomies, and thesauri projects, from initial requirements gathering through system deployment. We design, develop, and implement information categorization solutions that provide the infrastructure to index, structure, organize, and retrieve all types of unstructured information.
Business value from classification, metadata, taxonomies, and thesauri projects is achieved from providing access to and allowing the reuse of existing knowledge assets. The ability to find, share, and reuse these knowledge assets quickly, when needed, adds value by shortening critical process cycle times and reducing costs, yielding faster, better, and more cost effective business decision making.
