Overview

● 770 terms● 1,387 synonyms● 700 related term relationships● 605 people● 12,600 books, chapters, journal articles

and videos have applied terms● 37,000 terms applied terms

The critical roles

● Content Expert - Research Methods Editor● Product Development Manager● Project Manager/Business Analyst● XML Analyst● Front End Developer

Iteration #1 - taxonomy

● Editor documents taxonomy in Excel● Front-end developer provides taxonomy schema● XML Analyst normalizes terms and converts from

Excel to XML● Project Manager manages● Front-end developer creates visualization● Product development manager and Editor hate it

Iteration #2 - ontology

● Editor documents ontology in Excel● Front-end provides ontology schema● XML Analyst normalizes and converts from Excel

to XML● Project Manager manages● Front-end developer creates broken visualization● Product development manager and Editor hate it

less

Iteration #3 – ontology-2

● XML Analyst converts from XML to Excel● Editor changes ontology in Excel● XML Analyst converts back from Excel

• Ensuring a directed acyclic graph (DAG)

● Project Manager manages● Front-end developer refines visualization● Product development manager and Editor like it

but are ready to give up when they understand that we need to apply terms to content

Iteration #3 – apply terms

● XML Analyst creates apply-term worksheets• Content XML to HTML through a

“recommendation” filter (XQuery)● Editor hires PhD RM candidates to complete

worksheets• 2 or 3 was optimal for our project (2 months)

● Worksheets generate an email to XML analyst● XML Analyst extracts applied terms from emails

and generates RDF-XML

Iteration #4 – efficiency

● Apply terms application• Enables edits• Eliminates emails and term worksheets

● Ontology manager application• Ensures DAG

● Automate content QA and delivery through our SAGE Online Content Repository
