A business glossary is a software application used to communicate and govern the organization’s business concepts and terminology, along with the associated definitions and relationships between those terms. A core objective of a business glossary is to minimize the confusion of business terminology and communications.
Americans love idioms, probably more than any other country. We shoot the breeze, bend ears, pull legs, and put our feet in our mouths. These bizarre phrases are a staple of our language and conversation style. A collection of these idioms have been published in The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms and the new volume contains hundreds of new entries.
Regardless of your political affilitation, if you have any at all, this entertaining and interesting take on another taxonomy piqued my interest, and hopefully will do the same for you.
The workings of a taxonomy or thesaurus in a database or website can seem mysterious. Let’s take a look behind the scenes. irst of all, we need the taxonomy or thesaurus in digital form, either as a separate file or as it exists in a specialized software application.

KnowledgeSpeak brought this news to our attention in their article, “ASTM International selects Scope eKnowledge Center to provide enhanced smart content and MARC cataloging services.” Scope is known for developing facets with a taxonomic structure to enable robust cross-domain search. This project will broaden these 'smart content' services to include a Portuguese language version of the taxonomy, facets, and keywords to enhance the discoverability of its content by its Brazilian end users.
Over the past several weeks, we have looked at various topics involving taxonomies and thesauri. And we have seen that controlled vocabularies are an important part of search and browsing. But how are taxonomies put to use? What about the terms? Where do they go? Exactly how are they put to use in search? What are the different ways that a taxonomy can be used in search?
here are taxonomies everywhere. Walk into Home Depot or your nearest grocery store and look up. The aisle markers tell you where to find what you are looking for -- in broad terms and hopefully, related terms.
Pingar recently introduced its beta Taxonomy Generator Service, which will enable enterprises to generate instant taxonomies from an analysis of the content on large internal document sets.
