Freelance Taxonomist, National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, MA

The National Fire Protection Association is looking for a freelance taxonomist or independent taxonomy consultant for a series of 2-3 projects. Each project includes building out our semantic model (taxonomy/ontology), documenting and/or fixing autotagging issues, and researching terminology in the important discipline of fire safety.

 

Given the nature of these projects, we are seeking a person with at least 3+ years of hands-on experience in taxonomy building and/or indexing of technical content using autoclassification software. 

Experience with ontologies and rules-based autoclassification engines is preferred, and specific experience with Smartlogic Semaphore is highly desirable.
