The Accidental Taxonomist is the most comprehensive guide available to the art and science of building information taxonomies. Heather Hedden―a leading taxonomy expert and instructor―walks readers through the process, displaying her trademark ability to present highly technical information in straightforward, comprehensive English.


In this fully revised third edition, Hedden adds an entirely new chapter on ontologies, emphasizes the SKOS model of concepts over the traditional thesaurus model of terms, and provides new insights into taxonomy development techniques. She presents fresh survey data; new screenshots and examples; and updated information on software, career opportunities, and resources for taxonomists. Drawing on numerous real-world examples, she explains how to create concepts and relationships, design taxonomy structures, select taxonomy management software, create taxonomies for manual vs. automated tagging, plan and manage taxonomy projects, adapt taxonomies to various user interfaces, and more.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Helen Lippell, author,Taxonomies: Practical Approaches to Developing and Managing Vocabularies for Digital Information, and Program Chair, Taxonomy Boot Camp London --undefined

The Accidental Taxonomist is the formative book for the study and application of taxonomy in business, and Hedden's continued leadership in this edition is essential for professionals and practitioners of all things data, information, and knowledge. John Horodyski, Executive Director, Salt Flats, Adjunct Professor, and author, Metadata Matters --undefined

With the fields of knowledge, information, and data management colliding, Hedden's book is more important than ever. Taxonomies are a key foundational element for the most exciting solutions in the field, all the way up to artificial intelligence, and The Accidental Taxonomist will help you understand how. ―Zach Wahl, Founder and CEO, Enterprise Knowledge --undefined

About the Author
