FYI -- Boston-area teams using subjectScheme taxonomies

A quick poll of folks in BostonDITA who use taxonomies did not yield very much.
- One team had been using subjectScheme taxonomies and SDL to manage TOCs.
Since abandoned.
- Two teams have been using taxonomies in easyDITA.
Jorsek uses a proprietary metadata editing system and SKOS internally ( https://help.easydita.com/content-strategies/taxonomy-and-metadata#concept-1272 ).
It can import many taxonomy formats and convert them to SKOS ( https://help.easydita.com/faqs/management ).
Not sure that Jorsek uses subjectScheme maps for controlled attribute values.
That looks proprietary as well.
Many teams NOT in a CCMS use subjectScheme maps for controlled attribute values.

==========================================

From Gershon One of my clients uses Zoomin and Ixiasoft.
Ixiasoft has a nice implementation that ingests the subject scheme map and presents it to the users as a taxonomy hierarchy that users use to drag and drop taxonomy terms to be applied to a map and/or topic.
We don t let writers loose on the subject scheme map, that s only for the admin who managers the file.
I suspect in the short term removing the classification map and domain from the spec won t change how our vendors manage this.
It may result in custom proprietary mechanisms to manage taxonomies in the future.
I m on the wall on this one.
Let s see if anyone else responds.
