Classification - does it work?
Denham Grey explores the value of classifications in a Q&A format:
Does taxonomy or navigated search have a place in your organization? Is it available and used?
Certainly. making distinctions, assigning meaningful names to key concepts, testing boundaries and common understandings are key to KM work. It does not matter that there is a strict hierarchy, what is important is to be able 'see' the related concepts, appreciate the boundaries, make the connections, share and grasp the core meaning around the classes. Any living and useful categorization needs to emergent, negotiated, reviewed, revisited and continually tested in everyday conversation.
