ASI Taxonomies SIG

The American Society for Indexing (ASI) added a special interest group on taxonomies. ASI is expanding "its interests beyond traditional back-of-the-book indexing".


"The Taxonomies & Controlled Vocabularies SIG is for those in the indexing profession who are involved in creating or editing taxonomies, thesauri, or controlled vocabularies used for indexing. Members may be either as freelancers/consultants or employees of companies that develop taxonomies or controlled vocabularies for externally offered information sources. The SIG's founder and current manager is Heather Hedden, currently a taxonomist at Viziant Corporation and formerly a controlled vocabulary editor at Gale (Cengage Learning). The SIG's Yahoo discussion group is "taxonomies." It also has a web site: www.taxonomies-sig.org."
