Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the capability of a general classification scheme and domain thesauri to support the construction of an organizational taxonomy to be used for navigation, and to develop steps and guidelines for constructing the hierarchical structure and categories. The study was conducted in the context of a graduate department in information studies in Singapore that offers Master's and PhD programs in information studies, information systems, and knowledge management. An organizational taxonomy, called Information Studies Taxonomy, was built for learning, teaching and research tasks of the department using the Dewey Decimal Classification and three domain thesauri (ASIS&T, LISA, and ERIC). The support and difficulties of using the general classification scheme and domain thesauri were identified in the taxonomy development process. Steps and guidelines for constructing the hierarchical structure and categories were developed based on problems encountered in using the sources.

Abstract

While taxonomies are being increasingly discussed in published and grey literature, the term taxonomy still seems to be stated quite loosely and obscurely. This paper aims at explaining and clarifying the concept of taxonomy in the context of information organization. To this end, the salient features of taxonomies are identified and their scope, nature, and role are further elaborated based on an extensive literature review. In the meantime, the connection and distinctions between taxonomies and classification schemes and thesauri are also identified, and the rationale that taxonomies are chosen as a viable knowledge organization system used in organization-wide websites to support browsing and aid navigation is clarified.
