Taxonomy Management Platform Implementation.

Implement the taxonomy management platform your organization needs — configured for your vocabulary, your governance model, and the downstream systems your taxonomy must integrate with.

Information Management Services

The Situation — When Clients Come to Us

Organizations come to us for taxonomy platform implementation when:

  • A taxonomy has been designed — or is being designed — and the organization needs expert implementation of the platform (PoolParty, Graphologi, or TopBraid) that will manage, govern, and publish the vocabulary to consuming systems
  • An existing taxonomy management platform is underperforming — poorly configured, inadequately integrated with CMS, DAM, or search platforms, or not supporting the governance workflows the taxonomy team requires
  • Organizations implementing PoolParty Semantic Suite and needing expertise in semantic web standards (SKOS, OWL, RDF), API integration, and the AEM Semantic Booster or equivalent content platform connectors
  • Organizations adopting Graphologi and needing platform configuration, vocabulary migration, integration with EasyGraph or other consuming systems, and governance workflow setup
  • Enterprises that have selected a taxonomy platform but recognize that implementation quality — data model alignment, workflow design, integration architecture, and user training — determines whether the platform delivers value or becomes expensive shelfware

What We Do — Our Approach

  1. // Phase 1

    Requirements & Integration Architecture

    We assess the organization's taxonomy, governance model, and technical environment — mapping the integration requirements between the taxonomy management platform and all consuming systems (CMS, DAM, enterprise search, data catalog, AI infrastructure). We design the platform architecture, data model alignment, and the API or connector strategy that will keep the taxonomy synchronized across the ecosystem.

  2. // Phase 2

    Platform Configuration

    We configure the taxonomy management platform — PoolParty, Graphologi, or TopBraid — loading the controlled vocabulary, configuring the concept scheme structure, setting up project and workspace organization, and establishing the multilingual support, synonym management, and relationship display settings appropriate to the organization's needs.

  3. // Phase 3

    Governance Workflow Implementation

    We implement the governance workflows in the platform — configuring the term proposal, review, approval, and publication lifecycle; setting up user roles and permission structures; and establishing the version control, delta publishing, and change audit capabilities that make governance operationally sustainable.

  4. // Phase 4

    Integration Build & Testing

    We build and test the integrations between the taxonomy platform and consuming systems — CMS connectors (AEM Semantic Booster for PoolParty, or equivalent), DAM integrations, search platform connections, and API endpoints for downstream systems. We validate that taxonomy updates propagate correctly and consistently across all integrated platforms.

  5. // Phase 5

    Training, Documentation & Handover

    We deliver role-specific training — taxonomy stewards, platform administrators, content authors, and integration owners — and produce the operational documentation that enables the internal team to manage the platform independently after handover.

What You Get — Deliverables

  • Platform architecture and integration design documentation
  • Fully configured taxonomy management platform with vocabulary loaded and governance workflows operational
  • Governance workflow configuration — term lifecycle management, user roles, permissions, version control, and delta publishing
  • CMS, DAM, and search platform integrations — built, tested, and validated
  • API documentation for downstream system connections
  • Integration test results and acceptance documentation
  • Role-specific training materials — steward, administrator, author, and integration owner
  • Platform operations documentation and administrator guide
  • Ongoing support and maintenance advisory (as scoped)

A taxonomy management platform is only as good as its configuration.

Iknow implements PoolParty, Graphologi, and TopBraid — with the vocabulary design, governance workflow, and integration expertise to make the platform deliver from day one. Let's discuss your platform requirements.
