TRANSCRIPT
TAXONOMY CASE STUDY:SNC-Lavalin Infozone Taxonomy ProjectJoseph A. BuschProject Performance CorporationNovember 15, 2010
What We Did
• Defined a metadata and taxonomy framework (Fall 2008- Spring 2009)– Overall fact finding– Community building (IM Interest Group)– Metadata specification and high-level taxonomy– Taxonomy governance documentation
SNC-Lavalin Infozone Taxonomy Project2
Why Build the Business Taxonomy?
• Managing knowledge– Understanding information and knowledge within SNC-Lavalin, and
surface it in user-friendly formats
• Collaboration and communications– Allow employees and partners to connect with others within the
company (collaboration), as well as deploy features that assist in creating essential one-way information flows (communication in the “my SNC-Lavalin” way)
• Task completions– Instead of using the Business Taxonomy just to find things, people use
the Business Taxonomy to do things (find applicable procedures so as not to duplicate existing ones)
