Trees vs Forests: Ontology and Taxonomy
So much confusion stems from mistaking a taxonomy for an ontology!
I created this to help us try to reason about how to best curate the largest online art collection in the world when I was at Artsy. We were big into creating collections of things, but had no way to reason about any kind of general organizing principle and this led to a lot of discovery problems. This talk was about what I learned diving in to solve this.
As this was a work talk I don’t have the recording, but the deck is here.
