Using bCisive to create a document taxonomy

A canned example:

DISCLAIMER: This is not an Australian Taxation Office (ATO) publication, ATO Tax Tables are available to the public, via the ATO website on http://www.ato.gov.au/ and are used for illustration purposes only.

Definition: taxonomy tax·on·o·my (tāk-sŏn'ə-mē)n. The classification of information in an ordered system that indicates natural relationships.

Begin with the overall label for the group of documents

Use the Expore tab to browse the web, or local intranet, to locate the group of documents

Create boxes for the general groups that the documents fall into

HINT: Save time - drag and drop text from the Explore window into your map

Next create boxes for the individual documents...

... and using the Hyperlink button link the documents to their box

Finally, you may like to format with some colour

Voilà, a quick, easy and attractive taxonomy, enabling access to full documents by simply clicking a hyperlink.

The outline can be exported to documents, websites, directories, databases or spreadsheets

integration, website design and knowledge management initiatives.

Easier navigation, more efficient search• Easier for users to navigate through large volumes of information.• Increases the opportunities for the serendipitous discovery of

information.

Improved information sharing• Provides a shared language and repository for different parts of

an organisation.• Reduces time spent on duplication and reinvention, by making

the existing intellectual capital resources more visible and accessible.

.

The benefits continued

A better user experience• Helps users visualise the multidimensional space in which they

are searching, and enhances their ability to take advantage of the underlying taxonomy.

Interoperability and integration• Helps to link up various applications, processes and knowledge

bases to improve competitiveness and flexibility.
