By: Scope e-Knowledge Center Elsevier’s key business objective was to support more personalization of the user experience for PracticeUpdate. The solution Scope and Elsevier envisioned required the development of a taxonomy for a number of medical domains. The taxonomy is essential for optimal filtering of results for the target audience and refining search results. Scope’s team of medical content specialists not only developed the tiered taxonomy, but also created documentation of the simulated tagging process, using sample content, to train Elsevier’s CMS users and to establish best practices. Scope, in this assignment, reviewed content in a variety of medical domains, including Oncology, Cardiology, Urology, Eye Care, Primary Care, and Dermatology. Scope’s smart content solution, diSCOverTM, enables the development of domain-specific knowledge frameworks in the form of controlled vocabularies – Taxonomies, Thesauri and Ontologies. diSCOver also supports document indexing using a knowledge framework to enable more filtered and targeted search, including cross domain search, and navigation. Brad Strong, Manager, Online Content & Strategy of Elsevier Health Sciences, commented, “Elsevier sought to enable personalization and rich content discovery in PracticeUpdate; a comprehensive taxonomy was essential to enable precise filtering and to reveal connections between content for our users. Scope’s taxonomy has met our business requirements and we are pleased with Scope’s response to our needs.” Commenting on this partnership extension, Tram Venkatraman, President of Scope, said, “We are very pleased to have been chosen by Elsevier to deliver such a high-end knowledge service offering.
