In August's blog, I revisit a topic I presented on years ago: developing taxonomies and ontologies in an Agile workplace. #taxonomy #agile

In June's blog, I do a little wallowing in the taxonomy blues. informationpanopticon.blog/2025/06/23/t...

Looking forward to presenting "No Conspiracies Here! Clear and Transparent Taxonomy Foundations" at #IAC25 on Friday, May 2nd! www.theiaconference.com/program/

In March's blog, I consider the difference between taxonomy concepts with longevity and ephemeral, trending concepts which can be useful to reach a company's audience.

In February's post, I consider who should own the taxonomy and where it should live in an organization.

In my first blog post of 2025, I consider the path I took to becoming a taxonomist and the skills I believe someone needs to have to be successful in this role. #taxonomy #careers

In my last blog post of 2024, I consider the zeitgeist of misinformation and the place of semantic models. #taxonomy #Misinformation

In November's blog, I recount major themes from the co-located 2024 KMWorld conferences held in Washington, D.C.

The $7,500 tax credit for buyers of electric vehicles could be vanishing early in the new Trump administration, but that might actually be good news for Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk, one of President-elect Donald Trump’s most prominent backers.

In October’s blog, I consider how concealing the complexity of semantic models has the unintended consequence of hiding taxonomists’ work. #taxonomy #userexperience

In September's post, I focus on the challenges around trying to model processes and sequential information in taxonomies. #taxonomy #ontology

In July's blog, I consider how not to say what you mean in taxonomy. #taxonomy

This month, I cover some methods for communicating the value of taxonomies to potential business stakeholders. #taxonomy

In May's blog, I discuss the importance of being able to separate and filter semantic and navigational taxonomies. #taxonomy

In this month's blog, I consider how to define the borders of what is included in taxonomies.

Here is my third blog entry of 2024. In this blog, I consider the slow pace of taxonomy and ontology building vs the rapid pace of machine learning models applied to semantic development. As with all my blog posts, my opinions are my own.

My first post on Bluesky, and my second blog post of 2024. In this blog, I consider what risks may be involved when designing semantic models for business purposes. As with all my blog posts, my opinions are my own. I hope you enjoy!
