TAXONOMY CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES – ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

For any information to be organized, taxonomy is essential. Taxonomy plays a very important role for information and content management. Also it helps in searching of content. The most common method for constructing taxonomy was the manual construction. As the information available today is huge, constructing taxonomy for such information manually was time consuming and maintenance was difficult. This paper presents an overview of various taxonomy construction techniques available for easier construction of taxonomy or generating taxonomy automatically. Also this paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of each technique used.
