Taxonomies in the Age of AI: Evolving Your Strategy

The Topic Taxonomy: An Outdated Artifact? As knowledge workers continue to navigate constantly evolving priorities in developing effective AI solutions that complement organizational priorities, semantics have maintained their value—but not without shifts that deserve our attention.  Broadly speaking, one reliable tenet holds true: taxonomies, as structured, hierarchical representations of a domain of content enriched with semantic context, provide a prime source of knowledge in a format that AI-powered solutions are built to digest. This hasn’t changed. That said, there are nuances around which taxonomies provide the most value. As semantic modelers with years of combined experience, we will focus on some essential taxonomies and how their value in the age of AI has shifted, with actionable recommendations on how to adapt your semantic modeling strategy accordingly.
