Writing—for the most part—is free form.
The data models that fit elsewhere in the end-state architecture simply do not fit text. A
wholly different approach is needed for examining and using text in the decision-making
infrastructure.
Fig. 14.1.13 depicts the taxonomy that is used to integrate text into the end-state
architecture.
Fig. 14.1.13 Taxonomies—based on text.The taxonomy—strictly speaking—can take the form of a taxonomy or an ontology. In
its simplest form, the taxonomy is merely a collection of classifications. The classification
consists of a classification and a list of words that populate that classification. The
categories found in the taxonomy reflect the viewpoint of the author.
Fig. 14.1.14 shows that taxonomies are made up of categories and words.
