Taxonomy descriptors
become subject metadata
• Selected descriptors are XML-tagged and
stored with document
• Descriptors available as webpage metadata
• Put in the HTML Header
• Metatags enable precise document retrieval
• Term equivalence enables query expansion in
search (MAIQuery)
Structure of the Corpus
• Specific domains
– Easier than the whole internet
– DLESE – Digital Library for Earth Science
Education
• Domain specific taxonomy
– Specific branches
– Dynamic classifications

Our assumptions for
Enterprise Taxonomy Management
• Consistent application across entire site
• Synonyms are used interchangeably
• User doesn’t need to know the taxonomy
• Pop up view is helpful
• Site map for construction and browsing
• Allows hidden sections for internal use
