George Everitt, President of AR, along with Farah Gheriss and Ina Darsadze from the IMF will speak about the Country Knowledge Exchange (KE), it's features and some of the lessons learned from implementing an enterprise taxonomy solution based on Microsoft Office Sharepoint 2007 and the AR.Taxonomy suite of semantic tools.

From the program:

"This session will examine the construction of The Knowledge Exchange (KE), which provides the staff of the International Monetary Fund with a facility to locate and share important country documents. It provides a number of user friendly features aimed at reducing the amount of time staff must spend to locate final, authoritative country documents from its two official document repositories. KE allows staff to browse documents by subject matter, conduct full text searching, sort results by relevance or modification date, and to access country collaboration sites and other authoritative sources for country information. KE employs a relational rules-based faceted taxonomy that classifies documents into meaningful categories, for easy browsing. The implementation has been very popular, but there is still more to come. "All About a Country" will provide more country information on demand, including key economic and financial data, country contacts, planned travel, and other key country information on demand."
