<b>Moving from Taxonomies to Ontologies - What, Why, When, and How<br>
</b></span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
Is your organization using the most effective tools to ensure the
discoverability of its content? What are the differences between ontologies and
taxonomies? Which is best suited to help you meet <i>your </i>content
objectives in a web-based environment?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>To help
you answer these questions, NFAIS has scheduled a 90-minutes webinar, <i>Moving
from Taxonomies to Ontologies: What, Why, When, and How</i>, that will
take place on July 17, 2013 from 11:00am – 12:30pm EDST. The speaker for
this session will be Dan Segal, Senior Taxonomist, Marcinko Enterprises, Inc.
(MEI). While both taxonomies and ontologies are designed to manage
relationships among terms, ontologies offer support for managing the more
complex relationships that are used in today’s retrieval systems.
This session will take a look at the structure of ontologies and how they are
managed using ontology management software; the differences in the software
currently available, including open source software for ontology management;
and when and how to migrate from a taxonomy to an ontology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This is a
stand-alone webinar, but if you missed the first 90-minute session on this
topic, <i>Taxonomies and Ontologies: Definitions, Differences, and Use, </i>you
can still register to view the archived recording at your leisure and receive a
10% discount off both registrations. The first session was led by Gale
Hodge, Senior Information Scientist, Information International Associates, who
has extensive experience in developing knowledge organization systems.
Her presentation provided participants with an understanding of taxonomies and
ontologies and the value that each offers. Attendees were extremely positive in
their feedback:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
