Just about every taxonomy design I’ve worked on has considered some type of Audience facet. Internally, companies want to designate that collateral is intended for different teams including Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Product Management. Manufacturing companies can create public-facing content for their commercial site with content for Audiences including Developers, Investors, and [...]]]></description>
