Taxonomies: Practical Approaches to Developing and Managing Vocabularies for Digital Information
Facet Publishing
May 26, 2022

As organisations across the globe commit to digital transformation, well-managed taxonomies are more critical than ever in supporting a wide range of business applications. Amidst growing industry uptake of controlled vocabularies, ontologies and knowledge graphs, taxonomists are at the forefront of helping organisations manage content and data of unprecedented breadth, depth and variety.

Taxonomies: Practical Approaches to Developing and Managing Vocabularies for Digital Information is a comprehensive guide to building, implementing and using taxonomies. Featuring contributions and case examples from some of the world's leading experts, the book supports professional development through practical advice and real-world case studies. Readers will learn best practice for the everyday realities of working with stakeholders, sponsors and systems to ensure that taxonomies remain useful and relevant. Addressing all the key stages of the process of building and implementing a taxonomy, including scoping, user testing and validation, and the creation of governance processes, the book is invaluable for the optimisation of systems for users and stakeholders alike.

Query log analysis with GALATEAS LangLog
EACL '12
April 01, 2012

This article describes GALATEAS LangLog, a system performing Search Log Analysis. LangLog illustrates how NLP technologies can be a powerful support tool for market research even when the source of information is a collection of queries each one consisting of few words. We push the standard Search Log Analysis forward taking into account the semantics of the queries. The main innovation of LangLog is the implementation of two highly customizable components that cluster and classify the queries in the log.
