Metadata? Thesauri? Taxonomies? Topic Maps! Knowledge Bases (also called ontologies or topic maps) for publishing emerged as extensions to back-of-the-book indexes. This article traces their evolution using plain language and clear examples. Ontopia publication 10/26/2004

Your taxonomy is your future The way your company organizes information (i.e. its taxonomies) is critical to its future. Taxonomies not only frame the way people make decisions, but they also help them find the information necessary to weigh all the alternatives. Montague Institute Review 2/1/2000

Upstream knowledge management Looks at publishing from a bottom-up perspective with an emphasis on using metadata to add value when a document is written or saved. Montague Institute Review 4/1/1999
