Information is at the heart of what most enterprises do. For some it is their product and lifeblood; for others it lubricates all aspects of their operation.

After all, we all operate in an ‘information economy’ these days.

The Growing Deficit in Computer Science Education

By Melody Smith|October 8th, 2012|Access Insights, Featured|Comments Off on The Growing Deficit in Computer Science Education

In our increasingly globalized economy many career paths that seemed to offer security are today only offering uncertainty to recent graduates. Students graduating with degrees in teaching, law, and even human resources or business are finding stiff competition and few opportunities. Even in our stubbornly weak economy, job growth in computer science fields has continued steadily; yet even as computer usage becomes ingrained in nearly every facet of modern life, many graduates find themselves ill-equipped to take on the requirements of technology-based jobs.

Why Do We Index?

By Melody Smith|October 1st, 2012|Access Insights, Featured, indexing, Taxonomy|Comments Off on Why Do We Index?

We index, or “tag”, using the taxonomy to improve precision. In part, we are doing that by defining the scope of the term that we use. So, we have a term that represents a concept but that term might be used for several concepts. We are defining in which way we are using the term ‘mercury’ within this corpus of information. We define the scope of the term, and that improves the precision.

Taxonomies, Databases, and the Internet

The Internet has allowed us a lot of website builders and a lot of contributors. Basically, they are all equal as far as opportunity to participate is concerned.

Testing, Maintaining, and Implementing Your Taxonomy

By Melody Smith|September 3rd, 2012|Access Insights, Featured, search, Taxonomy|Comments Off on Testing, Maintaining, and Implementing Your Taxonomy

Once you’ve developed a taxonomy, of course you want to use it. And before using it, you want (or should want) to test it. And, of course, the use is two ways. You can apply it to the records, for indexing, and you can use it for search, too; both of those applications are use tests at first, and can serve as use tests again for maintenance of the taxonomy. Once you get into the maintenance phase, you have to be able to edit and otherwise change lots of parts of the terms. You might change the status of the term itself, what it is called; for example, you could change the primary term that you use and put some other word in as the non-preferred term. You might want to delete or add a relationship. Of course, you want to add new terms. You might want to move the branches around. All of these things are part of routine taxonomy maintenance.
