Consultative Approaches in Taxonomy

Enterprise Knowledge CEO Zach Wahl speaks with Ahren Lehnert, Principal Taxonomist at Nike.

In this conversation, Zach and Ahren discuss the future of taxonomy and artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing both the augmentation of traditional roles and growth to include new ones, and how to demonstrate the value of a taxonomy initiative for your organization more tangibly. They walk through highs and lows of the taxonomy development and refinement process and the importance of avoiding semantic debt to ensure adaptable solutions that stand the test of time. Ahren also shares his thoughts on the state of the market right now for semantic tools as the influence of AI/ML grows.
