As
organisations across the globe commit to digital transformation, well-managed
taxonomies are more critical than ever in supporting a wide range of business applications.
Amidst growing industry uptake of controlled vocabularies, ontologies and
knowledge graphs, taxonomists are at the forefront of helping organisations manage
content and data of unprecedented breadth, depth and variety.

Vocabularies for Digital Information is a comprehensive
guide to building, implementing and using taxonomies. Featuring
contributions and case examples from some
of the world?s leading experts, the book supports professional development through
practical advice and real-world case studies. Readers will learn best practice

to ensure that taxonomies remain useful and relevant. Addressing all the key stages
