The gaps between subject and functional boundaries are one of the best sources of breakthrough innovation. Yet for a variety of reasons — managerial, technical, and editorial — it's often difficult to exploit them. In this article they use an example from their own research and experience to show how linguistic tools such as thesauri, glossaries, and navigation schemes can promote knowledge discovery by exposing potential linkages between seemingly unrelated subjects. The full text of the article is free, but registration is required. The demo shows how parallel taxonomies can be created for two very different stakeholder groups and linked through cross references. This has been added to Knowledge Discovery Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
