Value of the faceted taxonomy

Faceted Taxonomy - Creating a Better User Experience through Information Discovery - is taken up by Todd Peters in a paper that is part of KMWorld's Best Practices in Enterprise Knowledge Management (Nov/Dec 2005).

This is a compact article that lays the basis for understanding taxonomies as "a way of consistently organizing and classifying large amounts of data through a controlled vocabulary of terms". It describes the building-in of facets with Human Resources as an example, and the resulting navigational components. Author recommends this approach when "considering a site re-design or the implementation of a Web content management system".
