Then it turns out (after further analysis and comparison and checking old literature not yet digitized), that it should be described as a new species, one that was collected decades earlier and has been hidden in a collection waiting for a taxonomist to discover it. #newspecies #taxonomy

Taxonomies and the Fall of the House of Escher “I know not how it was–but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit.” – Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher I consider well-…

In March’s blog, I consider how straying from taxonomy design best practices can lead to foundationally unsound semantic models. #taxonomy

Graph databases are changing how we think about data. It's not just about storing information. It is about understanding how everything connects. When you layer in taxonomies and explainable AI, those connections become actually useful. #ExplainableAI #KnowledgeGraphs #Taxonomy

We are drowning in data but still questioning if we can trust it. Other countries are treating data quality like a national priority. The U.S. is still piecing it together. Better systems, smarter standards and solid taxonomy are not optional anymore. #DataQuality #Taxonomy
