Hi all,

I am trying to assemble some practices options for vocabulary control.

Can any of you relate experiences with building a vocabulary, a 
taxonomy, or a thesaurus? Or do you know of any good articles on the web 
we can refer to?

I learned a lot from Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, by 
Lou Rosenfeld and Peter Morville, pp. 177-188, and from a presentation 
by Bob Boiko that I videotaped and put on the web at 
http://media.skybuilders.com/oscom/Boiko/Boiko.rm   I put summary info 
in the CMS Glossary entry 
http://www.cmswiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=ControlledVocabulary

But I am looking for war stories, things that went well or badly.

Thanks for any help.
