Factiva announced its sponsorship of an international research project conducted by TFPL. The research project will seek to identify how organisations are using taxonomies to construct their “Information Architecture”. TFPL defines “Information Architecture” as a coherent set of strategies and plans for information access and delivery inside organisations. The research – based on case studies of organizations, and vendor questionnaires and interviews – will examine the balance between software and human intervention related to the application of taxonomies within content management systems, and whether customer needs are being met by vendor offerings. Any companies or organisations wishing to be involved in this research through offering case studies or sharing their experience on taxonomies/information architecture are invited to contact TFPL. www.tfpl.com, www.factiva.com
