Myths About Taxonomies and SharePoint – Myth #2
Yesterday, I addressed a blog post, or repost by Jeff Carr, on the Early Site regarding myths about taxonomies and SharePoint and I shared my thoughts on Myth #1. Today, let’s talk about Myth #2 - Taxonomy is best left to the Projects Technical resources.
Five 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.
One Size Fits All Taxonomies
A constant challenge for any content manager is the training to apply the right tags and metadata. We all know how important leaving these breadcrumbs can be to operating a comprehensive search. It is like filing something away in a blank folder with no idea of what it is and no way to find it. The DataFacet solution from WAND Inc provides sets of extensive taxonomies, and tools to automate the classification of documents and web content.
Spreadsheets Being Replaced by Taxonomies
Taxonomy management tools have come a long way in tackling content organization challenges. However there seems to be no consistency in the tools and their approach. This is key as corporate requirements for search and content management have changed and grown for tools that help organizations create, administer, and publish semantic structures.
Taxonomy and Its Many Uses

Comedy of Errors
I confess. I am a grammar snob. And it has gotten much worse since I joined Facebook. If I see one more “that is a great ideal”, or “their is a bird outside” status update, I will scream. Even Word corrected the wrong choice of word when I was writing this post. If Clippy knows better, why don’t educated professionals?
Standards and Taxonomy – Nice Match
The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) has released a draft taxonomy of the cybersecurity workforce and it shows functions divided into seven broad categories of jobs - securely provision, operate and maintain, protect and defend, investigate, operate and collect, analyze, and support.
The Challenges of Music Taxonomy
Classification in music continues to be complicated. Musical taxonomy is challenging as even the most disconnected and isolated genres manage to refer to each other. Look at Wikipedia to the various genres and you will find even more genres and sub-genres, with ironic mash-up names.
When 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.
