Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Stewart has written a book that pulls together concepts, terminology and processes for folks who need to organize digital information, and he does it in a beautiful publication -- great layout, readable text and plenty of illustrative graphics. Topics span a comprehensive range of interrelated issues, from findability and controlled vocabularies, to taxonomies and ontologies. Important terms are highlighted in bold throughout. The material has been carefully researched over the past few years and presented in earlier forms as lectures in a series of university courses. Chapters are supported by extensive bibliographic notes, as well as an Index that practices what the book preaches -- that terms are polysemic (look it up here!) and that the first problem for the knowledge worker is disambiguation -- or clarifying which concept is intended when several are possible. Add in the pervasive humor, and you have a text that students should find to be an excellent learning tool.

Taxonomies have been fundamental to organizing knowledge and information for centuries. Now they are the backbone of well organized information systems and the lynchpin of findability in an online world. This book is the first taxonomy primer to present how to design, create, apply and maintain structured vocabularies, including taxonomy, thesauri, ontology and folksonomy, specifically for digital information. This comprehensive and accessible guide explains how to make sure both content creators and content consumers are speaking the same language. (Second Edition)
