Controlled Vocabularies and Taxonomies

Learn the fundamentals of taxonomy design and controlled vocabulary development to support improved resource description and discovery. Topics include types of controlled vocabularies, taxonomy planning and design, relationships and structure within taxonomies, and strategies for long-term taxonomy management and maintenance.
