You might be thinking, that’s a lot of topics and terms – but do I really need all of this? If you have large volumes of unstructured information in your organization, you should be looking at taxonomies. If your business needs to make information more findable, you should be looking at taxonomies. This could range from a website, business listings, an eCommerce, website, internal company documents, spend data, and more.

Metadata is the backbone of many companies, but effectively using this metadata can be an overwhelming challenge. One of the more important aspects of metadata management is the creation of taxonomies. Taxonomies are sets of concepts organized into a hierarchical structure covering a topical domain. For Utilities, this includes topics like Electric Utilities, Management, and Information Technology. Each of these areas has specific categories, terms, and descriptions. Using a taxonomy for metadata terms will speed up the time it would take a human to manually make those adjustments and train the artificial intelligence.

You can speed up the time it takes to begin effectively managing and using your metadata by utilizing the WAND Utilities Taxonomy Suite which includes all of the relevant taxonomies for a utilities organization like yours. Each of our suites and taxonomies has been created by experts with domain research which means you are getting the highest quality, most relevant set of terms to implement in your environment.
