One of Taxonomy Strategies core values is community service. We are actively involved in professional and standards organizations such as the American Society for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). We also spend time giving workshops, talks and conference presentations to teach people about the purpose and value of taxonomies and metadata. This section of the website provides links to past Taxonomy Strategies workshops, talks and conference presentations.
