the business. This is the story of how our taxonomy evolved through five
stages.
With this issue, the Montague Institute Review
contents is available as a monthly news feed. Here's a primer on RSS (the
supporting technology) and our reasons for starting the service.

Integrating taxonomies
October 7/8, 2003 (Enfield, CT) January 12/13, 2004 (Washington, DC)
This 2-day workshop is designed to help you develop
a concrete strategy for integrating multiple taxonomies - both internal
and external. By "integration" we mean bridging the gaps between
disciplines and cultures as well as making taxonomies available to navigation
tools, incorporating them into business applications, and including them
in editorial work flow. Jean Graef will teach the Connecticut session;
Denise Bedford will teach the Washington session.

the horizon.
