A construção de taxonomias para estruturação e recuperação de informações corporativas

Abstract

Noting the various efforts for the satisfactory and efficient performance management of information and knowledge in corporate environments, and the need to present tools to facilitate the organization of work of the information circulating in the companies, this research has the intention to present the corporate taxonomies as an instrument applicable to this task, testing the proposition elaborated by Aganette (2010). From exhaustive research in the scientific literature, we present the definitions found for the terms Corporate Taxonomy and Taxonomy. The exhibition and analysis of the implementation process taxonomies are the objects of study of this research. In it, the proposals are presented for the creation of corporate taxonomies based on Aganette (2010), which allow the comparative analysis of the implementation of steps provided by the author and the feasibility of implementation. In this sense, the author also presents a comparison between the proposition Aganette methodology (2010) and taxonomies created for a private company with national presence. The results demonstrate that the steps based on Aganette (2010) are feasible to implement and which also is the most extensive method - are higher stages of the implementation process of building taxonomies. The study shows that corporate taxonomies are effective tools that help in the organization of knowledge processes in corporate environments, but due to lack of information sources on the subject in the area of Information Science, it seems necessary to study deeper about subject matter. The research showed to be fundamental the formation of partnership between the areas of Information Science and Computer Science, in order to enable the development of flexible and highly reliable technological tools that assist in the organization of processes and knowledge management.
