In this session we&#8217;ll review practices around developing taxonomies as they are specifically applied to faceted search.  We&#8217;ll discuss do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts and show you how to get more from faceted search and create an intuitive user interface that will improve usability and result in increased conversions.

Our session presenters will cover taxonomy development from two distinct perspectives: the first will address new ways of understanding users &#8220;mental models&#8221; in order to select the correct facets for the user interface.  The second presentation will delve more deeply into practical considerations around deployment and leveraging facets in faceted search systems.  

Austin Govella will present "Redefining Search Design Using Mental Models"

Stephanie Lemieux and Rich Tomlinson will present &#8220;Tips and Tricks for Building Intuitive Faceted Search&#8221;</full-description>

Taxonomy, Navigation, Social Media &amp; User Interface - June Taxonomy Community of Practice Webinar

What is a good taxonomy?  It&#8217;s more than a clever organization of concepts and terms.  A good taxonomy must make sense from a user-interface and usability perspective.  This month, our speakers will drill into key user-centric factors for creating high-impact taxonomies.

John Qarto-vonTivadar&#8217;s focus is on how our cognitive styles and temperaments radically influence the gathering and processing of information. This has implications for taxonomy and search, often in ways that are glossed over as "noise", "outliers", or "too complex to account for".  Paying attention to these factors can provide the special sauce necessary for users to get value from taxonomy.

Bob Goodman will map out best practices based on real-world case studies from his large-scale search and online community projects. Representative practices include how to integrate content-consumption with content-sharing, how to invite users to take action, and how to build on user-generated rankings. Taken together, these practices keep content dynamic and engaging.  

Taxonomy plays a variety of roles in today's information environments &#8211; enabling records management, search optimization, personalization and social media among other initiatives.  While the role of taxonomy continues to expand, it has always been a key enabler of good navigation and UI. Good navigation is critical for getting users to the content they need. 

Join us this month to hear lessons learned, best practices, and techniques for developing taxonomies with a navigational focus, as well as creative ways to integrate taxonomy into your overall UI.

What is Gel?

Short for "Good Experience Live", Gel is a conference, and community, exploring good experience in all its forms -- in business, technology, art, society, and life.

Instead of focusing on just one thing (design, technology, user experience, business, etc.) like many conferences, Gel touches on many things. This challenges attendees to find, and learn from, the patterns that underlie good experience, even in disciplines vastly different from their own.

The best way to understand the Gel experience is to attend.
