Description Bringing a taxonomy to life is not an easy job. Operationalization often requires juggling multiple perspectives, such as those of designers, content publishers, application developers, not to mention consumers. These groups all have different views on what taxonomy is, how it should be applied, managed, integrated, etc. So, knowing this, how do you roll your taxonomy to the enterprise? This session will present taxonomy operationalization strategies that take into account this multiplicity of views. Learn about: - Different taxonomy formats (controlled value lists, reference data, etc.) - Implementation issues - Cross-project perspectives - Communication and education - Governance and standards This session explores these and other issues around "socializing" the taxonomy within the organization to ensure it is an effective tool.

The Taxonomy & Metadata JumpStart will tackle some of the issues and challenges in deriving taxonomies and metadata standards. During these calls, you will hear from experts at leading Fortune 500 companies and be exposed to tools from select vendors. Led by Seth Earley of Earley and Associates, each of the four 90-minute webinars feature taxonomy experts and practitioners sharing practical advice and information about how to develop, manage, and maintain a taxonomy.

April 12th - 1:00-2:30pm EDT Session 2: Getting Started - Taxonomy Building Blocks Topics include: * What is a taxonomy? * What is metadata?

Frequently, international businesses and web sites now need multi-lingual taxonomies, or local language variations. This challenge was discussed in a CoP thread earlier this year, and now the May conference call will let you hear from some experts on this topic. Should you have a central master taxonomy and local variants? Do the local versions translate back to global term? What happens when some taxonomy owners are non-English speakers? What is the governance structure for a multi-lingual? Seth Earley, along with Marti Heyman and Denise Bedford, will discuss strategies, solutions, and describe case studies and examples about how to manage multi-lingual taxonomies. Presenters: Seth Earley (Earley & Associates), Denise Bedford (World Bank Group, Georgetown University, University of Tennessee, Kent State University), Marti Heyman (Phena Partners) 223 Join us for this month's Taxonomy Community of Practice conference call on multi-lingual taxonomies.
