Does your organization have unstructured data? Of course it does. Taxonomies provide a data model for unstructured information. Taxonomies add order the chaos. They go beyond simple search and organize documents the way the human mind thinks: hierarchically.
What kind of organizations can benefit from a well organized taxonomy? All organizations can benefit from a well organized taxonomy, but especially those organizations that deal with large amounts of unstructured information. It's more ubiquitous than you might think. Unstructured information makes up about 80% of the data in a typical organization.
Broad Business Categories
Some uses of taxonomies apply broadly across all organizations. These broad business categories describe the functions that every company or agency requires.
