A Talk by Mike Dillinger
Technical Lead for Taxonomies and Ontologies, AI Division,
LinkedIn
About this talk
Taxonomies are the duct tape of connected data. They seem simple, flexible, and familiar. They are widely used. And they seem to work across many use cases and many domains.
But when looked at in more detail, taxonomies turn out to be crude tools for knowledge organization that are very difficult to create, to scale, to adapt, to align, and to build on.
They don't work well for larger or more complex domains and use cases. Experienced talent and flexible tools for creating them are hard to find and to develop. Often taxonomies are built then abandoned for other, more robust approaches to knowledge organization.
It is essential to re-evaluate your connected data strategies in the context of alternative approaches to knowledge organization.
