Abstract

A new approach to the problem of information overload within the corporate enterprise is discussed. This approach, called the ‘corporate taxonomy’, is usually an extension of the traditional classification and thesaurus, but is used in a more pragmatic way and, because within a relatively closed system, can be subjected to greater control and fine tuning to meet corporate needs. Current practice in the building and use of corporate taxonomies is discussed with reference to a case study survey conducted by TFPL Ltd. Face-to-face and telephone interviews were conducted in 22 large enterprises, including Glaxo Wellcome, Microsoft and Unilever
