As such\, taxonomies should be created so that they are customized to the context of the content and to the user s. How to go about this will be addressed in this interactive workshop. Co ntent analysis and term extraction are methods to make a taxonomy match it s content\, and user interviews and brainstorming sessions are methods to make a taxonomy suit its users. Exercises will include analyzing a documen t for candidate concepts\, looking at the results of a term extraction too l and of a search log report. Small breakout groups will then brainstorm a taxonomy structure and top terms to serve the identified users.\n\n**Pres enter: Heather Hedden**\n\nHeather Hedden is a taxonomy consultant\, who has been working in the field of taxonomies and information management for over 28 years.
