Standards and Taxonomies

We like consistency and standards. Maybe that is why we are in the business of taxonomies. But there is no arguing that standards and structure are important. Without them and the existence of language conventions, comprehension would be significantly impacted. Artificial Lawyer brought this interesting topic to us in their article, “Why It Is Time for the Legal Sector to Mind Its Language.“

Standards allow technology to work seamlessly and establish trust so that markets can operate smoothly. They provide a common language to measure and evaluate performance, make interoperability of components made by different companies possible and ensure safety, durability and market equity.

A taxonomy is a kind of controlled vocabulary, and there are standards for controlled vocabularies. Interoperability standards are important for those controlled vocabularies which are intended to be shared or reused.

Whatever you are searching for, it is important to have a comprehensive search feature and quality indexing against a standards-based taxonomy. Choose the right partner in technology, especially when your content is in their hands. Access Innovations is known as a leader in database production, standards development, and creating and applying taxonomies.
