Taxonomy Management

Organizations are struggling to keep pace with a growing torrent of information – market data, consumer input, technology standards, regulatory mandates, and more every day. A systematic approach to taxonomy management changes the game, making the task of data preparation and organization both manageable and scalable. It is a capability that turns an information problem into an information advantage, and enables managers to organize information as fast as it arrives.

FAST ESP’s Taxonomy Management feature automates the organization of information, helping users to detect opportunities and avoid threats. It simplifies the process of defining how information should be organized. From the creation of categories to the definition and testing of the rules that sort information into those categories, every organization can now work on one fully integrated visual workbench that supports taxonomy creation, rule definition, rule validation and testing, and taxonomy maintenance.

Taxonomy Management integrates seamlessly into the document-processing architecture of FAST ESP, ensuring that every document that the business has to search is organized intelligently. If users need multiple ways of organizing information or want multiple experts managing the categorization process, Taxonomy Management supports multiple taxonomies and multi-user access. Users can organize their information in ways that support their missions and then reorganize it as soon as business conditions change.

FAST ESP’s Taxonomy Management can organize hundreds of terabytes of data and support thousands of users with sub-second responses that guide them to what they seek.
