In today’s digital landscape, enterprises generate and manage vast amounts of content across multiple platforms, often without a unified organizational schema. Without a structured approach to organizing this information, finding and utilizing content efficiently becomes a challenge and impacts the ability to consume and reuse content. Taxonomy and metadata provide the foundation for intelligent content organization, improving discoverability, consistency, and user experience across systems such as Digital Asset Management (DAM), Content Management Systems (CMS), and Product Information Management (PIM).
This course will demystify taxonomy and metadata, illustrating how a well-structured system can empower users, streamline operations, and drive business success.
