Keeping the Balance
Both global and
local taxonomies are vital and a balance must be maintained. Global taxonomies
are best for certain domains and uses, while local taxonomies are the better
choice for others. The benefits and costs of creating and using a taxonomy
globally must be weighed against the benefits and costs of creating and
using a local taxonomy. Globalize as much as possible to create an underlying
unification through an information system. Localize only where necessary
to support context justified by user behavior and needs. Try to minimize
the impact of politics in this balancing act.
