Creating an Example-Based Taxonomy 

Purpose

You create an example-based taxonomy in order to be able to classify documents on the basis of example documents (see Classification (Classifying Documents).

Process Flow

When you create an example-based taxonomy, you have two options:

·        Creating a new folder hierarchy

You want to create an example-based taxonomy and corrsponding folder structure from scratch. That is, you do not want to use an existing folder hierarchy for the taxonomy.

·        Using an existing folder hierarchy

You want to create an example-based taxonomy based on an existing folder hierarchy.

Overview for Creating an Example-Based Taxonomy

Create an index
a) Creating a new folder hierarchy	b) Using an existing folder hierarchy
Assign the data sources that contain the relevant example documents to the index	Train the categories of the taxonomy using the existing folder hierarchy (automatic assignment of data sources to index)
Create a new folder hierarchy
Train the categories of the taxonomy manually using example documents
Reindex by data source
Assign further data sources to the index (optional)
Result: A taxonomy is created.
