In cases where several user groups use different terms to refer to the same concept, adopt controlled vocabulary - dictionary, taxonomy or thesaurus - that includes preferred and alternative labels and identifiers such as product or industry classification codes. Integrate controlled vocabulary with Confluence using Taxonomies for Confluence add-on. Insert concepts into Confluence pages and blog posts to make them searchable by preferred and alternative labels as well as the identifier.
- Start with creating or adopting existing controlled vocabularies - dictionaries, taxonomies or thesauri - using Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS).
- Specify preferred label (
skos:prefLabel), alternative labels (skos:altLabel), and, if needed, common identifiers (skos:notation). - Install Taxonomies for Confluence add-on.
- Insert related concepts into Confluence pages or blog posts with Related Concept macro - search for Related Concept macro to insert, search for a concept using its preferred or alternative label or the identifier, select the appropriate one and click Insert.
- You can now find Confluence content by preferred and alternative labels and the identifier.
