Metadata Tagging

Within organisations, trying to find information you need by simply using search isn't enough. Even Google tacitly accepts this (see our recent blog posting). To make search work effectively, the only route is to tag your content with metadata.

Metataxis has devised metadata schemes for government, NHS and private sector clients. The key is to recognise how many metadata values can realistically be captured for your content, and whether this can be done automatically (for example via templates or autocategorisation software), or whether the tags have to be added manually. Metataxis can advise on what the metadata should be, and what the most efficient ways of capturing it will be. We can also provide people to do the tagging for you in order to take the burden off in-house staff.
