Suggest a Vocabulary, Reference or Event
You can help the site grow by suggesting vocabularies, references or events for listing. Just send an email to tw@factiva.com. Or you can click Submissions to use the submission form.
Become a Warehouse Partner
If you are the publisher or custodian of a vocabulary, we invite you to become a Warehouse Partner. Partners help keep the Warehouse up-to-date by letting us know when revisions are made to their vocabularies and by making their vocabularies available directly through the Warehouse's added-value fulfillment service.
For information on the benfits of partnership click the Partners link.
How to Obtain Vocabularies
There are at least three ways to obtain vocabularies:
- Use the Warehouse's value-added fulfillment service - our value-added fulfillment services help you get the data you need in the format you want and then we help you to keep it up-to-date (see the fulfillment section below).
- Contact the publisher directly - Taxonomy Warehouse always provides a link from each vocabulary to the publisher or custodian's known contact information.
- View/download online - If the vocabulary is available online, either for viewing in a web-browser or for downloading as a file, then we will list the appropriate URLs on the vocabulary details page.
Value-added Fulfillment Service
Here are some of the benefits of using our value-added fulfillment service:
- obtain pricing and licensing information;
- acquire and deliver vocabularies;
- package vocabularies with thesaurus management and/or automatic indexing software;
- convert vocabularies from the publisher's data format to other data format you desire;
- track revisions to the vocabularies and automatically deliver updates to you as needed.
So, if you need a starter vocabulary of engineering terms delivered in XML, or an authority file of company names in relational tables, or you just want to check up on what kind of vocabularies exist in the field of banking and finance, then Taxonomy Warehouse is a powerful resource to help you.
Contact Information
We would like to hear from you if you have any questions about the service or any suggestions for how we can improve it.
