Taxonomy Strategies has relocated to Washington, DC. Founded by information scientists who met at Metacode Technologies, a start-up company that built the MetaTagger automated categorization solution acquired by Interwoven in 2001, Taxonomy Strategies has been involved in projects for government agencies including development of the content model for the official portal of the U.S. government usa.gov, and for international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund. A third area of leadership has been work on e-commerce merchandising taxonomies to enable cross-selling, up-selling and personalization by category rather than item.

Play the Green Chameleon and Straits Knowledge video podcast "Taxonomy Development Process Case Studies" of Joseph Busch talking about different methods of taxonomy development.
