For many organizations, one of the most difficult tasks on a SharePoint project is to design a taxonomy strategy that addresses portal/site organization and navigation as well as an overall information architecture that specifies how content will be categorized, classified and tagged. One of the primary reasons this is difficult for many organizations is that there is no "cookbook" approach to this task that really works.
Instead, the best way to develop a taxonomy strategy and design is to pair knowledge of an organizations content with knowledge of the functionality and capabilities of the software that will be used to develop the portal/sites. We can help you through this process by providing expertise we have gained from working on numerous design engagements as well as our deep knowledge of the taxonomy-enabling features of SharePoint.
