In this talk Joseph Busch discusses application profiles as a framework for structuring information applications. The key argument is that application profiles are not usually treated as knowledge organization systems in themselves, but they contain two kinds of vocabularies that are central to knowledge organization: schema vocabularies and value vocabularies. He also connects this argument to current questions about generative AI reliability and transparency.

This talk is a short report on ISO 25964 progress and outcomes focusing on Part 2: Thesauri and interoperability with other vocabularies. Part 2 of ISO 25964 is essentially a primer on how to map concepts to a thesaurus. This presentation was part of the panel “International standards for KOS supporting information retrieval and machine learning assessment”  at the 2026 International ISKO Conference on August 19 in São Paulo, Brazil.

Application profiles provide a framework for structuring information related to a particular application. These can include two types of vocabularies – schema and value vocabularies. Schema vocabularies such as SKOS, RDFS, Dublin Core, and Schema.org specify the properties and attributes related to the application, while value vocabularies (ranging from simple controlled vocabularies to taxonomies and ontologies) specify the valid instances for those properties and attributes. This talk provides an accessible overview of application profiles and makes the case for why this type of documentation is important in the context of artificial intelligence.

In this talk Heather Hedden and Joseph Busch discuss the similarities and differences of thesauri and taxonomies, provide an introduction to the standards used for thesauri and taxonomies, and talk about the relevance of thesaurus standards for taxonomies. Then they talk about the recent revisions to ISO 25964 Part 1 of the thesaurus standard, provide an overview of the Simple Knowledge Organization System known as SKOS, and explain how ISO 25964 Part 1 aligns and compares with SKOS.

Application profiles provide a framework for structuring information related to a particular application. These can include two types of vocabularies – schema and value vocabularies. Schema vocabularies specify the properties and attributes related to the application, while value vocabularies specify the valid instances for those properties and attributes. This panel discusses the interplay between schema vocabularies that structure content with value vocabularies that provide consistency across structured content, and particularly how automation can optimize the linked data ecosystem.

This presentation discusses the importance of taxonomy testing to ensure its effectiveness before implementation, focusing on qualitative and quantitative methods, and emphasizing the need for a well-defined research plan to achieve testing goals. The presentation also covers various contextual analysis methods such as focus groups, card sorting, scenario testing, and content tagging to validate the taxonomy and gather evidence for stakeholder approval.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) is implementing SANKOFA, a new document and records management platform. To improve metadata accuracy and efficiency, SANKOFA integrates a business classification scheme that categorizes documents by function, activity, and type. This enables better document organization, retrieval, and information management, supporting the AfDB’s mission of sustainable development in Africa.

Presented by Joseph Busch at the International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications on October 23, 2024 in Daegu, South Korea.

Venue: Toronto

This presentation discussed the overall goals of the African Development Bank SANKOFA Program to transform the current business practices where documents have been created and stored mostly on personal computers, reviewed and approved using email and hard copies, and shared as email attachments.

Taxonomy Assessments: On June 4, I gave a “Taxonomy Talk” community webinar. In this talk, I described how to do taxonomy assessments periodically and ongoing as an integral part of website instrumentation. I provided a case study about a B2B medical supply website and answered questions from the audience.

This talk describes how to do taxonomy assessment periodically and ongoing as an integral part of website instrumentation. How to flip analytics to get the category level analysis, how to construct a set of qualitative practices that can generate taxonomy metrics which identify categories to merge or split, and some specific scorecards against which your taxonomy can be evaluated. Presented by Joseph Busch, Taxonomy Strategies’ principal analyst at the Information Architecture Conference in Seattle on April 13, 2024.

This project digitized paper records, developed metadata strategies for each department and laid the groundwork for a knowledge graph that can improve information access and decision-making at the transit authority.

This presentation discusses the metadata strategy of SANKOFA, the African Development Bank’s new document and records management platform for development project activities. The design and definition of metadata, and the strategies for automating its generation are briefly described. Best practices for file plan and metadata design, validation, implementation, and maintenance in a multilateral financial institution setting are discussed. The African Development Bank is a leader in documentation of development project activities and promotes best practices for the provision of disclosure and access to information.

This presentation defines metadata as “data about data” and taxonomies as the “controlled vocabularies” used to organize it. It champions “faceted taxonomies” —using simple categories like “Cuisines” or “Brand”—as the key to powering website search and avoiding comically bad, complex hierarchies (like one that includes animals “belonging to the emperor”). The talk also covers the practical side, asking who decides on metadata, what it costs to create, if machines can help, and how to start.
