Taxonomy Design and Development
Taxonomy design is a complicated task. Taxonomy Inc. can help you create a sound schema methodology and maintenance process, and apply these to the development of a robust schema. Some of the issues you'll need to address are:
- How the schema will be used (and how this impacts design)
- How specific should the categories be?
- What types of attributes (if any) do you require (e.g., item comparison vs. engineering specification)
- How often should updates be published (and how?)
- How to account for Units of Measure (UOMs)
- Limitations of supporting other standards through mappings/crosswalks
- The role of Subject Matter Experts and Ontologists
- How to handle schema versions
- and much more...
Taxonomy Inc can also set up an online Schema Management Tool for the collaborative development and maintenance of your schema. This tool includes features such as:
- Categories, attributes, assigning attributes to catetories
- Hierarchies, mapping categories to hierarchies
- Reporting
- User roles
- Workflow (create, review, approve, publish)
- Schema export
- Comment tracking
- Extendable
