Organizations sometimes need to deliver only a specified subset of taxonomy or taxonomies to satisfy the requirements of users. This calls for the capability to filter and choose what is delivered. Besides reducing the amount of work, it takes to surface appropriate concepts; this capability allows for a personalized user experience without the back-end work of customized taxonomies.
Organizations sometimes need to deliver only a specified subset of taxonomy or taxonomies to satisfy the requirements of users. This calls for the capability to filter and choose what is delivered. Besides reducing the amount of work, it takes to surface appropriate concepts; this capability allows for a personalized user experience without the back-end work of customized taxonomies.
Filtering a taxonomy by a given property helps to consolidate terms, which can be subsequently applied and used within a taxonomy or an ontology management tool. In practice, this capability helps in delivering outputs based on one or more of these properties and sending them to consuming systems via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) or exported reports.
Another method to filter and port concepts to applications is to set up report parameters within the ontology management tool, save them as a reusable query, and schedule exports in the desired format to be ingested by the target system.
Exporting and ingesting files can be useful if the reports are run infrequently. As fewer updates are required, there is less dynamic change, or it may depend on who is updating the system. However, file-based taxonomy extracts might be more appropriate in instances where business users can upload files but do not have technical support.
In conclusion, an important aspect of developing taxonomies is delivering the right terms at the right time. Also, delivering customized varieties of a taxonomy need not be tailored and intricate at the back end if users can see a selected subset of a controlled vocabulary, provided the properties used for filtering can be mixed and matched.
