L’importance de la taxonomie et la différence avec l’architecture de l’information

dimanche 16 avril 2006

So you’re tasked with improving usage of your corporate intranet. Your own experience tells you that the site must be well designed, have a strong look-and-feel and be packed with relevant content. Backed by this insight, you prepare your “how to get a well used intranet” checklist :

- Create dynamic, innovative design.
- Develop aesthetically pleasing layout and colour scheme.
- Identify creative and catchy content.
x Implement policy for metadata – huh ?
x Prepare your site’s taxonomy – double huh ?

While not as sexy as the first three items, the last two address the number one complaint of intranet users : “I can never find what I’m looking for.” In this world of ultra-usability and user-centric websites, many great intranet sites go unused because of poor, or altogether lacking, site taxonomy.
