Verity unveils customizable taxonomies
Verity has released six customizable classification structures designed to speed and simplify the organization and management of content in large-scale global enterprises.
The six Verity taxonomies are based on open industry standards and built using the same query language used in Verity K2 Enterprise content organization products. Each of the taxonomies, together with Verity classification solutions that combine both automation and domain expertise, are engineered to provide an enterprise's taxonomy project with a head start to deliver extremely accurate and relevant content organization to enhance the value of the enterprise's intellectual capital.
