“Taxonomies are compensating structures for our inability to work together on scale.” @plambeSG #taxobc
Paraphrasing @SethMaislin: More people, more data, more complex, the more taxonomy can help (and the more obvious the benefit). #taxobc
“The better you understand the ecosystem, the better your taxonomy (and terms and governance and more).” @SethMaislin #taxobc
“In order to understand your piece of the puzzle, you need to understand the entire puzzle.” @SethMaislin #taxobc
“The world has become ridiculously complex because of computers.” @SethMaislin #taxobc
Question for #taxobc #AMA: Are “taxonomy” and “structured data” true synonyms? (another one triggered by @seekjobs’ Andrew Young)
Question for #taxobc #AMA: What’s the difference btwn “classifying content” & “building taxonomies”? (triggered by @seekjobs’ Andrew Young)
“Not one client has ever owned or operated a taxonomy with a taxonomy database.” Spreadsheets are systems agnostic. @tardissauce #taxobc
“Then you don’t have to explain what taxonomy is because they know.” @tardissauce #taxobc
“If we take them with us, we don’t need a Taxonomy 101 process … that may not be the right approach.” @tardissauce #taxobc
Delivering taxonomy in small increments allows for frequent feedback from users and stakeholders, says @tardissauce. #taxobc
Establish content champions within client organizations to improve likelihood of success, suggests @tardissauce. #taxobc
Provide a framework for managing change, because requirements *will* change, says @tardissauce #taxobc
“There are two kinds of taxonomies, the done ones and the perfect ones. Go for the done one.” @tardissauce #taxobc
“Taxonomy development is a process, not an event.’ @tardissauce #taxobc
It’s not content that has a strategy, but content supports the larger business strategy, says @tardissauce #taxobc
Content strategists aren’t the only people working with content, says @tardissauce. Everyone touches content. #taxobc
Content strategy at @hugeinc defines formats, structure, process, roles, technology, creation, says @tardissauce. #taxobc
Dave Clarke from @Synaptica: Taxonomy can help with search, browse, and discovery. #taxobc
Dave Clarke from @Synaptica: Need to allow for experiment and serendipity in any knowledge design #taxobc
“Sharing metadata is more important than sharing data, because you don’t know what data you need.” #taxobc @snowded
“The minute you define the future state, you miss the opportunities you haven’t seen in the present.” #taxobc @snowded
“Don’t invest anything in change until the system is able to respond to change.” #taxobc @snowded
Need something unstructured and fragmented to manage dynamic change, says @snowded. #taxobc
Conformity with best practices is making people less safe, says @snowded. #taxobc
Stories of failure spread faster than stories of success, says @snowded. #taxobc
When it comes to knowledge sharing, people don’t share stories of success, they share stories of failure. #taxobc @snowded
