XML and the Technologies for Taxonomy Development and Support
November 3, 2003
I have a new article in EContent Magazine that asks and answers the question, “Can XML Drive Taxonomies and Categorization?” The answer is yes, of course. As I suggest in the lead to the article:
If you google “XML,” you do get a stunning 20.5 million hits, which is about four times as many as “Britney,” but—sensibly—half as many as “God.” So I guess XML falls short of omniscience. Still, the prevalence of XML has led to its being a too-ready answer to seemingly every question about information technology in general and content management in particular. The assumption seems to be that, no matter the requirement or problem, XML is the answer.
As always, the answer is in the details. Please see the article for more.
