Authors at a Place – Part IV of VI
Continuing with our series on semantic integration, let’s discuss Authors.
You can take a list of authors by place. Identifying marks or spots represent clusters of people who have published on a particular topical area. You take the author, their subject profile, and then attach to their address, the latitude and longitude of that address, and you can put them on a map. These kinds of match-ups are pretty cool.
Read MorePaper Submission – Empowering the Authors – Part III of VI
As we continue talking about semantic integration and more specifically, use cases; here is a different kind of use case. Somebody in this case is uploading an article (and you’ll see this again in other venues) in this case a conference paper to the American Society for Information Science and Technology site. A prospective author uploads their paper, they fill in the blanks as appropriate, and up pops a list of appropriate taxonomy terms. The author, the submitting person, can then check off the list of terms they think are appropriate to their paper. Then the paper is saved, already indexed. They will have already indexed their paper, which saves people a lot of time. In any kind of venue, folks can do their own indexing.

Read MoreUse Cases for Semantic Enrichment Using Taxonomies – Part II of VI
Last week, we started discussing semantic integration. We did a brief introduction and now that the basics are settled let us look at ways to enrich the user experience using Semantics (the words from our taxonomies). We have a way to improve search.

Read MoreSemantic Integration – Part I of VI
To discuss the semantic integration or the leveraging of a taxonomy in search, web sites mashups and other places, we should first review what they are. Let’s look at the definitions and then the integration of a taxonomy as a building block for the larger information architecture for an organization. We need to think of taxonomies in that bigger case when we are talking about where we apply them. Once those are out of the way I will review some use-cases and show what makes them work.
Read MoreMyths About Taxonomies and SharePoint – Myth #2

Read MoreFive Myths about Taxonomy and SharePoint
A couple of weeks ago there was a blog post, or repost by Jeff Carr, on the Early Site. I enjoyed reading it, and of course I have a few thoughts and places where I do not exactly agree. Let me take them on this week. There are 5 Myths. I will write about each of them separately.
Myth #1: SharePoint now has taxonomy management.

Read MoreWhen will it be finished?
Is it final? Finally! I recall Rex Harrison playing Pope Julius II, shouting up to Charlton Heston as Michelangelo, something like, “When will it be finished?” To which Michelangelo-Heston replied enigmatically, “When I’m done!” Michelangelo spent most of five years (1477 to 1480) on his back painting the Sistine Chapel. The Pope’s impatience was not without justification as he was financing the project while trying to recapture former Papal territories filched by the Borgias.
