Heather Hedden tackles the matter of improving navigation at a web site through the use of a well planned taxonomy. This article is an excellent primer to the design and use of taxonomies - what they look like, how to create them, and how they benefit the searcher. Concludes with a list of resources.
"Large websites and intranets can benefit from improved methods of search and navigation. These include site maps, A-Z indexes, sophisticated search engines, and generally improved navigational design—and playing a potential role in all of these methods is well-planned taxonomy."
Thanks to Patrick Lambe of Organising Knowledge for this lead.
