Iteration #1 - taxonomy
● Editor documents taxonomy in Excel● Front-end developer provides taxonomy schema● XML Analyst normalizes terms and converts from
Excel to XML● Project Manager manages● Front-end developer creates visualization● Product development manager and Editor hate it

Iteration #2 - ontology
● Editor documents ontology in Excel● Front-end provides ontology schema● XML Analyst normalizes and converts from Excel
to XML● Project Manager manages● Front-end developer creates broken visualization● Product development manager and Editor hate it

Iteration #3 – ontology-2
● XML Analyst converts from XML to Excel● Editor changes ontology in Excel● XML Analyst converts back from Excel
• Ensuring a directed acyclic graph (DAG)
● Project Manager manages● Front-end developer refines visualization● Product development manager and Editor like it
but are ready to give up when they understand that we need to apply terms to content

Iteration #3 – apply terms
● XML Analyst creates apply-term worksheets• Content XML to HTML through a
“recommendation” filter (XQuery)● Editor hires PhD RM candidates to complete
worksheets• 2 or 3 was optimal for our project (2 months)
● Worksheets generate an email to XML analyst● XML Analyst extracts applied terms from emails
and generates RDF-XML
