SGML/XML, Taxonomy, Ontology

Unlimited Priorities prepares and presents workshops and training sessions which cover the day-to-day and “hot button” issues of the information industry.

The content and level of difficulty of a workshop is tailored to meet the specific needs of the client and staff for their training or understanding of the various issues and information/content management topics.

Topic areas can include: creation of taxonomies, metadata and taxonomies, designing and building ontologies to incorporate a taxonomy, markup languages such as XML, HTML, and SGML, and the creation of topic maps to manage the meaning of the information (not just the information), and other information/content management areas.

 

Some of the more current workshops/sessions are:

1.)  Before You Begin: Defining the Requirements
Get ready, get set to develop a taxonomy by first understanding what is meant by a taxonomy, including the many current variations.

2.)  Taxonomies for Indexing: A Hands On Approach
A well-built taxonomy is part of the foundation of information architecture underlying Web sites and corporate intranets, connecting search queries to relevant content in databases.

3.)  Implementing a Taxonomy in a Content Management Portal
A taxonomy and the thesaurus behind the taxonomy are both an outline of knowledge and are used heavily in content and knowledge management, capture, creation, reuse and distribution.

4.)  Topic Maps, OWL, Semantic Web Applications - The Myth and The Applications
Representation of information by topic maps, ontologies, or a combination of both, hold promise for findability of not only of textual but also visual {images and streaming media).

5.)  Markup Languages – Theory, Design, Implementation
Markup language provides the guideposts to data optimization for the digital world. Properly designed and implemented, markup provides the structure crucial to turning content liabilities into knowledge assets.
