Metadata : XML. Can XML Drive Taxonomies and Categorization? by Bill Trippe.

Content management technology is almost de rigueur now in medium and large organizations, and along with it the problems of information overload. As a result, taxonomy development is now viewed as a core business issue.

Nathaniel Palmer, vice president and chief analyst of Boston's Delphi Group, expects the market for taxonomy tools "to grow to $386M in 2004 from its current level of $270M for 2003 (and up from $228M in 2002)."
