Major professional content
aggregators are offering tools and services to integrate
their own premium content with an institution's in-house
information. The products claim to increase corporate
productivity by reducing both information ‘glut’ and
‘overlook’, and offer the vendors an opportunity to
commercialize taxonomies first developed to manage their
own vast databases. The toolkits are part of the continuing
effort to make content more valuable through closer
integration with key business processes and applications.
This report provides an
overview of three products - Factiva Fusion, LexisNexis
Content Organizer and OneSource Content Optimization
Services - and takes a closer look at the respective
taxonomies associated with these solutions. The ability to
customize the taxonomies for individual customer’s needs
will be particularly important for many users.
