Why do we Classify?

• Finding (navigating & searching)

• Arranging / organizing• Aggregating • Filtering & segregating• Managing the lifecycle

(disposition)• Managing access & security• Managing provenance• Reporting

Why Not Use Free Text?

• Misspelling

• Acronyms

• Abbreviations

• Format

• Homonyms

• Synonyms

• English?

Good quality systems need good quality architecture

“Architecture is a necessary foundation , whether we like it or not. It is not optional,

but a necessity. The more seriously information is seen as a resource, the more

you need to make the architectural foundation explicit. It is especially useful

for understanding the more complex information structures found in managing

large organizations, running business operations, or developing technology

support.”Information First: Integrating Knowledge and Information Architecture for Business Advantage :Roger Evernden

Good architecture requires good foundations

How does a.k.a.® supports good quality RK?

• Central repository for controlled language stds

• Makes connections between terms/metadata elements

• Outputs in multiple formats to multiple systems

• Delivers thesaurus functionality online
