Please rate your experience Yes No. MSWeb began to use the metadata schema to create resource records in ; since then, over one thousand records have been created. Category labels The third type of taxonomy—labels for the categories in site-wide navigation systems—was geared toward providing users of Microsoft intranet sites with navigational context.
Category labels help users know where they are and where they can go. The MSWeb team employed a user-centered process for designing navigation systems, relying upon useful standbys as card sorting and contextual inquiry. In [this screenshot], the category labels are shown on the left-hand side of the screen. Descriptions of nodes, displayed on the right-hand side, help catalogers choose the appropriate category label. But because the portal is so widely used and because the revised navigation represented a major upgrade for many users, the owners of other intranet sites began to approach the MSWeb team for assistance in developing their own navigation systems.
The MSWeb team responded by making its user-centered design process and expertise into a service that other site owners could utilize. For now, the transitional stage of raising awareness and providing support to other site owners is considered a great leap forward, and a prerequisite to further navigation standardization.
How it comes together The impact of all three taxonomies is clear from the MSWeb search results shown [here]. In the next issue Sept. Louis Rosenfeld is an independent information architecture consultant. Peter Morville is President and Founder of Semantic Studios, a leading information architecture and knowledge management consulting firm.
It should also be a lesson in how NOT to make a broken intranet work. We looked at taxonomies for our intranet about five years ago. Later we realised that they will never accurately reflect content.
Trying to get a search engine or portal to make an intranet work will always just replicate the you have problems of finding information on the internet.
Often projects of such scope are sinking in information. You provided a compelling case study for a large project in a broad organization. I appreciate the fact that you went into such detail about the steps that the team went through to come up with a final, workable solution. While this is an interesting approach, I would also question whether providing a search engine on over a million pages, and separate intranets is really a solution. Surely the issue is information overload, not necessarily difficulties in finding information.
And what of the quality, accuracy and relevance of all these pages? Thanks to Lyle for rant and attack. I read a 3, word article approx then respond. You flame me after only reading my six sentences. Such is life I guess. The more complex the taxonomy the greater the degree of confusion. MSWebs three huge taxonomies are simply a grotesque example of this. If it has already descended into an internet-like anarachy then it is too late. The solution sounds painful and time-consuming — tear it down and rebuild it.
All delivered on-time and under-budget. However, I believe that implementing a taxonomy across the information architecture of the content management system, the portal, and the refinement of the search engine results will provide consistency and organisation to the information and address the overload problem in an organisation by providing context and filtering capabilities. The key to a successful taxonomy is that it be dynamic and flexible.
This has been proven by over 50 years of information science research. To clarify one aspect of this: navigational or category taxonomies are only one of the types of taxonomies that are used in improving infomation retrieval Microsoft.
Many directories such as Yahoo rely on this approach exlusively. The larger of the taxonomies used by Microsoft on both the Intranet and Internet sites take a more thesaural approach to map concepts together. Is there subjectivity? Of course. But there are also measurable results that show that the cumulative value of these approaches has had a positive effect. Your mileage may vary. Our mileage has been pretty good.
Webauk, I am happy you were on-time and under budget, but that is not a great measure of success. Use and findability of information is a major need for an Intranet. Measuring these elements and finding vast improvement in these areas would be something worth boasting. This class is used to provide a way to report error back to the client. When using AJAX web service call though sharepoint, any exception becomes generic Internal Server error, thus can't reflect real error.
