Deep Dives into TopBraid EVN — Part 3: Managing Changes

Special Note: This is the third in a series of 30 minute ‘deep dive’ webinars on TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Net (EVN) featuring short demos on key capabilities for collaborative terminology management and content tagging. This session will give an overview and tour of the capabilities in TopBraid EVN 5.2 for safely managing changes to controlled vocabularies –including taxonomies, ontologies, glossaries, etc.

Many organizations today are managing business vocabularies to ensure optimal re-use, delivery, and navigation of information. Key enterprise goals include achieving clarity on enterprise terminology, improving search, enhancing content navigation and aligning the meaning of data across data sources to enable information integration.

But once vocabularies are created, how are changes to them safely managed? When are changes needed? What stakeholders are involved in making and approving changes? The answers to these types of questions will vary across organizations. But many of the requirements or “change cases” are the same, such as:

  • adding, deleting or replacing individual terms in a taxonomy with other terms
  • transitioning to a new version of a vocabulary
  • cloning an entire vocabulary, or a branch or sub-hierarchy of terms within it, to reuse within a new or existing related vocabulary
  • requests for changes, notifications of changes and approvals must be facilitated among a broader set of stakeholders, as the process of approving new entries for terms often requires SME approval.

Join us for this webinar to learn how TopBraid EVN provides multiple capabilities for safely managing changes to vocabularies, including:

  • Audit trails –for viewing/reverting changes, and generating change reports
  • Working copies –sandboxes for safely making changes, approval workflow, promoting changes to production
  • Publication to TopBraid EVN Explorer – for anonymous (re)viewing, commenting and change requests from SMEs and other stakeholders
  • RACI assignments and notifications of change events
  • Cloning a vocabulary – to create a “version”

Who Should Attend: Ontologists, Taxonomists, Data Governance Stakeholders, Publishers, Metadata Specialists, Content Managers, Information Architects and anyone who works with ontologies,taxonomies, and other controlled vocabularies as well as the data or content related to these vocabularies.
