Intelligent taxonomy management tools for enterprise content

Abstract

The taxonomy is the most popular way for organizing a large volume of content. A taxonomy, which is typically a hierarchical representation of categories, provides a navigation structure for exploring and understanding the underlying corpus without sifting through a huge volume of documents. Creating and maintaining taxonomies with a large volume of documents remains a daunting task facing many enterprises. Content organization process typically involves four basic steps: (i) creating taxonomies; (ii) building classification models; (iii) populating taxonomies with documents; and (iv) deploying populated taxonomies in enterprise portals. Each step in the process may have unique requirements that determine what techniques and tools are suitable for the tasks. In this paper, we present a comprehensive suite of tools developed by Verity Inc. for accurately, collaboratively, and efficiently organizing enterprise content.
