Now that information, knowledge, and content professionals are currently working from home, can taxonomy design and development be done remotely? The answer is a big yes. Even though it is always beneficial to have in-person time, taxonomy work can be done remotely.
Generally, in taxonomy work, in-person time is always lesser than the time spent building taxonomies at the office. Moreover, the larger projects would involve only a couple of onsite visits. However, the smaller projects, for example, taxonomy review and revision projects are more often than not completed 100% remotely. If necessary, the stakeholders can be interviewed and the taxonomy testing activities can be done remotely.
Considering today’s scenario, employers should leverage the option of remote work to get taxonomy work begun and completed. For one, taxonomy design and development is such a specialized skill it would be a huge challenge to find a qualified and available taxonomist locally. The pandemic has also taken away the option of travel thereby ruling out the possibility of getting taxonomists from other places.
As it becomes apparent that experienced taxonomists can do their jobs completely remotely, employers can employ taxonomists for taxonomy work regardless of their location or the fact that they will be working completely from home.
