It involves the skills and knowledge of grouping similar items together and maintaining order by allocating distinct spaces for diverse elements. Taxonomy aids in organizing information in a modern approach. From one perspective, the taxonomy task involving entities' naming and arrangement can be seen as an age-old craft. Alternatively, it can be viewed as a distinctly contemporary undertaking, evolving with increased complexity as organizations and human societies embrace higher information intensity. This seminar explores four basic questions regarding Taxonomy, i.e., What is Taxonomy as a whole, why do we need Taxonomies, how it can be implemented in modern information organization and retrieval, and who can potentially play roles as Taxonomists? *Date: **12/10/2023 (Thursday)* *Time:* *2 p.m.* *Venue:* *DR**TC* *Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore* *All are cordially invited* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
