At the end of the day, taxonomies are a means to an end and are rarely valuable on their own. They’re the bridge in the conversation between a business and its customers, an information system and its users.
Taxonomy Boot Camp 2013 demonstrates how the User Experience discipline is helping taxonomists get better results for users. From design techniques to testing, these communities are learning, and growing, together.
In his Taxonomy Boot Camp talk, Bram Wessel focuses on how to expose the way diverse groups of users create mental models of an information space.
In “Taxonomies: From Idea to Reality,” Gary Carlson will lead discussion with industry leaders Seth Maislin, Ralph Tamlyn, and Carol Hert that taps into their experience with successful taxonomy projects.
