What is a Taxonomy?

A taxonomy is a set of concepts organized into a hierarchical structure covering a topical domain. You could think of it as a structured vocabulary. Taxonomies are used to organize and label information, data, or objects in a way that makes them easier to find, analyze, and use.

Best-in-Class Taxonomies

WAND specializes in developing precise and best-in-class taxonomies covering a wide variety of domains. WAND Taxonomies are available for licensing in applications that have a need to better organize data and content. WAND follows the ANSI/NISO Z39.19 standard for taxonomy development. Our methodologies include leveraging taxonomy development experts, domain research, and customer feedback to develop vocabularies that offer a clear knowledge representation for any given domain. We analyze user behavior whenever possible to augment vocabularies with new concepts or terminology. Finally, we leverage proprietary software and computational linguistic techniques to assist our human editors in creating the best taxonomies possible.

Catalog

WAND Taxonomies can be used in more than 150 common enterprise applications and are available through the WAND Taxonomy Library Portal.

Consulting Services Taxonomy

Consulting Services Taxonomy

There are times in every business when someone with very specific skills is needed. That is why consultants are so important. But without well-organized information and data, consulting services become inefficient and ineffective. Don’t currently have a strategy in place for data organization? Have no fear! WAND can help! WAND’s Consulting Services Taxonomy can help you organize your documents with ease, train your AI with speed, and begin using your company’s documents and data more efficiently in no time! As with all our taxonomies, this strong foundation metadata model can be customized to include additional terms related to your specific needs or industry.

This taxonomy contains 473 terms and 594 synonyms. Top-level terms include:

• Consultant Qualifications (37)
• Documents and Records (85)
• Consultants (72)
• Consulting Project Lifecycle (189)
• Consulting Risks (46)
• Metrics (38)

Instruction Manual Taxonomy

Instruction Manual Taxonomy

Instruction Manuals are everywhere. We use them when we acquire a new device, a piece of equipment, or a new automobile. There are instruction manuals for all kinds of products, for the assembly of a product, for the decommissioning of a product, for the operation and maintenance of a product, for the servicing of a product, and that is only the beginning. When you have a piece of equipment that needs servicing, the last thing you want to do is spend time searching for its specific instruction manual. This taxonomy includes terms found in areas within an instruction manual and allows you to make the most of the manuals in your collection. It also allows you to find a specific manual in a fraction of the time it would take to search file after file until you find the one you are after. As with all our taxonomies, this strong foundation metadata model can be customized to include additional terms relating to your specific needs or industry.

This taxonomy contains 190 terms and 476 synonyms. Top-level terms include:

• Instruction Manuals (16)
• Manual Design (42)
• Cover Page (16)
• Title Page (4)
• Contents Section (7)
• Introduction (2)
• Product Information (37)
• Instruction Categories (37)
• Terms and Conditions of Use (3)
• Additional Resources (16)

PII Taxonomy

PII Taxonomy

Personal Identifiable Information, or PII, is any information that helps with the identification of an individual, either directly or indirectly. That can include an individual’s name, address, personal identification numbers, as well as personal characteristics and biometric identifiers. They can be combined with less direct identification elements such as gender, race, birth date, geographic indicators, and other descriptors as well. All of that is data, and it is data that is being stored for future reference. But is it being filed efficiently? Is it easily retrievable? Chances are, it is lost in the vast reservoirs of stored data. This is where the WAND PII Taxonomy comes into play. You can organize your documents with ease, train your AI with speed, and begin using PII to find your documents and data immediately! As with all our taxonomies, this strong foundation metadata model can be customized to include additional terms related to your specific needs or industry.

This taxonomy contains 375 terms and 619 synonyms. Top level terms include:
• Fair Information Practices (17)
• Personally Identifiable Information (228)
• PII Certifications (6)
• PII Classifications (6)
• PII Confidentiality Impacts (29)
• PII Governance (73)
• Privacy Laws (9)
