Practical guidance and actionable advice to guide practitioners and stakeholders through every aspect of project planning, design, execution, and iteration.
Ontologies form the basis of knowledge graphs, and taxonomies are often the basis of ontologies. Thus, a good understanding of taxonomy and ontology design best practices can go a long way. Following a brief introduction of definitions and examples, this session reviews standards and then goes beyond the standards to discuss practical considerations. Standards for ontologies are purely technical and don’t explain how to make a good ontology. Standards for “taxonomies” do not exist, but standards for thesauri are applicable to taxonomies and explain how to design them well.
