Taxonomies and Education

By Melody Smith|May 1st, 2023|News|Comments Off

When it comes to employees, organizations need to remember the different learning styles of their workforces and reskill their employees to keep up with changing technology and culture. Surprisingly enough, taxonomies can help. This interesting topic came to us from ATD Education in their article, “Putting Taxonomies to Work: Skills Tagging for Deep Capability Building and Experiential Learning.”

A taxonomy can help the complicated business of learning by identifying variations, challenges, and opportunities. With hard skills vs. human skills, it can categorize and classify the appropriate response to a situation.

A controlled vocabulary is needed to ensure that machine-assisted or fully automated indexing is comprehensive, regardless of what is indexed. Access Innovations is one of a very small number of companies able to help its clients generate ANSI/ISO/W3C-compliant taxonomies to make their information findable. Whether upgrading an existing taxonomy or creating one from scratch, we work with you on a taxonomy and thesaurus that meet your needs.
