Navigating System Limitations for Taxonomy Implementation

Introduction: System Limitations If you’re reading this, you’re likely already convinced of the value of tags and filters when it comes to creating, saving, and retrieving content. You may even be involved in developing taxonomies at your organization. When working on initiatives aimed at enhancing targeted search and enabling content-level tagging, you’ll find that the systems that house and categorize your content each come with their own strengths and limitations regarding the extent to which they support tagging and filters. We have touched on system limitations in a past blog on Taxonomy Implementation Best Practices, and this blog revisits and expounds upon system limitations in greater detail.  While some fortunate teams have the coveted balance of leadership support, generous budget, and ample time to shop around for a solution that supports robust taxonomy tagging and customizable filters, the reality for most of us entails having to make the best of whatever systems are already in place.
