Taxonomies and ECM

Paul Quigley, Editorial Director at Enterprise Content Management 365, makes some interesting comments about enterprise taxonomy and folksonomies in the wake of Google's Index Now site search application.

"In the week that SEO behemoth Google took the wraps off its new indexing for content application 'Index Now' site search, the whole sphere of enterprise taxonomy and folksonomies is conjured as the role of knowledge management and context become ever more critical to effective content management strategies. ... The world of semantics, ontology and Kantian epistemology comes to mind in the vast 'contextualisation' process of content management, a veritable holy grail for all umbrella content in a massed digital asset world."

Off-the-shelf taxonomy will not work, but it is suggested that business process management can help in creating a classification / organizing scheme.
