Ontologies form the semantic framework for knowledge graphs, but to serve the purpose of connecting to content and standardizing metadata, ontologies need to be based on taxonomies and other controlled vocabularies, whose concepts are tagged to content in addition to being linked to data. There has also been a trend of greater integration of taxonomies and ontologies: ontologies are being adopted for wider business use, and taxonomies have been included in the W3C standards with widespread adoption of SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System).
While taxonomies are easier to design and create than ontologies, too often they are created without any skill or training, and poorly designed taxonomies yield poor results. This tutorial will cover the basics and best practices in taxonomy design, including: taxonomy and ontology uses, purposes, approaches, standards, and comparisons; sources for taxonomy concepts; wording of concept labels; best practices for hierarchical relationships, and the use of AI in developing taxonomis.
There will be exercises in creating concept labels and relationships, and practice with taxonomy management software."
