Designing the structure for a dynamic taxonomy is not that hard if you follow these tips: Tip 1: Use a Dynamic Taxonomy
A great example of the usefulness of a taxonomy for search can be found here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?
Here's what I think needs to be put in place: 1) Global taxonomy project. This will take analyzing billions of documents over a long period of time. There are known taxonomies out there, most proprietary, but they only work for structured and single-purpose document types. 2) Expansion of the CMIS standard to include taxonomy and classification capabilities into XML file structures to enable content re-use and auto and self-classification in context of file/content creation. Standardized file formats need to be able to incorporate metadata from taxonomies and taxonomy projects. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc cat.php?
Taxonomy, metadata and enterprise search expert, Seth Earley, will be teaching the AIIM Information Organization and Access (IOA) Master class in Stamford, CT at the end of this month (February 28-March 2)
" With so many perceptions coloring a plethora of word choices it's no wonder that internal taxonomies are neglected as a pain point

An information governance approach that creates the metadata infrastructure framework to encompass automated intelligent metadata generation, auto-classification, and the use of goal and mission aligned taxonomies is required. From this framework, intelligent metadata enabled solutions can be rapidly developed and implemented
When I hear this I often ask if they have their governance in place. What about taxonomic structure, metadata strategies and security schemes?
Text mining (both statistical and linguistic) and other exploratory search types such as faceted search (http://zylab.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/faceted-search-how-to-go-from-a-static-to-a-dynamic-taxonomy/) have contributed significant to the usability of search interfaces. 15 years ago, there was not enough electronic data to train the statistical algorithms and there was not enough coverage of languages to implement proper disambiguation of, for instance, pronouns, co-references and entity boundaries (http://zylab.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/how-to-find-more/). 3
