Abstract

This chapter discusses system implementation. Section 8.1 provides an analytical discussion of the various implementation choices, and Sect. 8.2 reports experimental results over relational databases. Section 8.3 discusses existing systems and Sect. 8.4 discusses formats that can be used for representing and exchanging taxonomies and taxonomy-based metadata, as well as a brief discussion on protocols. Finally, Sect. 8.5 discusses taxonomies as an Abstract Data Type and shows how taxonomies can be composed.

“We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.”

Abigail Adams, 1744–1818 (letter to John Adams, 1774)
