Please join KM Chicago and taxonomy expert Janice Keeler at 5:30 on Tuesday October 9 to explore taxonomy for better knowledge management. Meeting details are at right.
If
you have search and user tagging on your KM site, why would you bother with a
taxonomy (hierarchically structured keywords) or any other form of controlled
vocabulary? Synonyms, authority lists, taxonomies and other explicit
relationships between terms can improve retrieval of relevant information from
any sort of system. Come learn more about the different options, with
some real world examples of why they help. We’ll also cover basic
information about how to create and manage the term lists, and suggested
resources for more information. The talk will include a live
demonstration of a taxonomy tool and some points on what to consider about the
various types of taxonomy tools.
Janice
Keeler is Manager, Knowledge Management at NERA Economic Consulting, where she
is responsible for creating and managing a global taxonomy and a SharePoint
site using it. Before joining NERA, she had a KM role at McDonald’s
Corporation. At Accenture, she was responsible for global content licensing for
eight years. She also had leadership and team roles on global projects
developing a knowledge management strategy and reorganizing knowledge centers
into a global organization. Earlier, she started and managed information
centers for a public relations firm and a local investment bank. What
ties all these roles together is a desire to help people get the information
they need to do their work. Janice is a co-founder of the SLA Taxonomy
Division, currently serving as Chair-Elect. She has a Masters in Library
Science from the University of Chicago, a BA in history from The College of
Wooster, and a Certificate in Knowledge Management from Dominican University.

Nice work.I really like your work very much.
Knowledge management systems rely heavily on efficient information organization, search mechanisms, and collaborative technologies to improve productivity and decision-making. Students interested in designing such intelligent information systems can explore IEEE Projects for CSE, where they can develop innovative applications involving information retrieval, enterprise software, and knowledge sharing
As the demand for intelligent information systems continues to grow, understanding different technology specializations becomes increasingly important. Students can explore emerging research areas and technology trends through CSE Domains, which cover diverse fields such as artificial intelligence, data science, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and software engineering for building next-generation applications.
