A quick poll of folks in BostonDITA who use taxonomies did not yield very much. - One team had been using subjectScheme taxonomies and SDL to manage TOCs. Since abandoned. - Two teams have been using taxonomies in easyDITA. Jorsek uses a proprietary metadata editing system and SKOS internally ( https://help.easydita.com/content-strategies/taxonomy-and-metadata#concept-1272 ). It can import many taxonomy formats and convert them to SKOS ( https://help.easydita.com/faqs/management ). Not sure that Jorsek uses subjectScheme maps for controlled attribute values. That looks proprietary as well. Many teams NOT in a CCMS use subjectScheme maps for controlled attribute values. ========================================== From Gershon One of my clients uses Zoomin and Ixiasoft. Ixiasoft has a nice implementation that ingests the subject scheme map and presents it to the users as a taxonomy hierarchy that users use to drag and drop taxonomy terms to be applied to a map and/or topic. We don t let writers loose on the subject scheme map, that s only for the admin who managers the file. I suspect in the short term removing the classification map and domain from the spec won t change how our vendors manage this. It may result in custom proprietary mechanisms to manage taxonomies in the future. I m on the wall on this one. Let s see if anyone else responds. Gershon
