    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Taxonomies have become more widely-understood and used in the last decade as organisations seek to manage and exploit their information. The rise in understanding of the potential of semantic models has also led to an increase in demand for controlled vocabularies and ontology models. While education in classification and categorisation is becoming more and more mature, it does not necessarily prepare taxonomists for the everyday realities of working with stakeholders, sponsors and systems so that their taxonomies remain useful and relevant.


    Taxonomies: Practical Approaches to Developing and Managing Vocabularies for Digital Information is a curated anthology of expert-contributed chapters and case studies that cover the wide range of ways in which taxonomies are used in digital applications including the web, enterprise systems and libraries. The book brings together experts from a range of disciplines to provide realworld insights on how to build and implement a taxonomy in an organisation. The book will cover everything a working taxonomist - whether they?re an inhouse resource or a consultant - needs to consider, including business buy-in; working on a project team; choosing software; governance and maintenance and the wider societal dimensions of choosing categories and terminology.
