the processes concerned with creating a Taxonomy by linking the stages of
taxonomy development to the information retrieval techniques successfully used
to effectively organise and retrieve knowledge within libraries.

- A clearer perspective on the processes surrounding the development of a portal
taxonomy, using the analogy of classification, cataloguing and indexing techniques
as deployed in libraries to manage information
- A realisation that the combined skills sets of 'information professionals'
and 'Web developers' can be brought together to develop a relatively inexpensive
'in-house' solution to taxonomy development minimising the requirement to draw
upon external consultancy
- Room Requirements:
