Wordmap is bought
February 8th, 2007 by David Weinberger
Earley and Associates, an information architecture firm, has bought Wordmap, according to an article in KMWorld. WordMap makes tools for constructing, viewing and navigating taxonomies, including a pattern-matching tool for automating some of the construction process. From having poked around their site, Wordmap seems to be all about the top-down side of taxonomic life, a side that we continue to need to do well even as the bottom wells up.
