POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT

Title: TAXONOMY MANAGER

Employer: Lockheed Martin Information Technology Services

Location: U.S. General Accounting Office - Washington DC
               441 G Street NW
               Washington DC 20548

Reports to: Susan Doran, MLS - Manager, GAO Information Management
Group

Background:

The GAO Thesaurus forms the basis of indexing and searching for GAO
reports through GAO's Publications Database. It is an impressive
resource, but needs updating. GAO plans to evolve this organizational
resource beyond its current usefulness. Long-term plans may include
leveraging the existing thesaurus and new, linked taxonomies throughout
the organization for multiple purposes (e.g., GAO "teams" seeking
guidance and assistance in adding metadata to and organizing their web
pages).

Main Responsibilities:

Update, maintain, modify, and provide quality assurance of the GAO
Thesaurus--according to customer requirements, software specifications,
library science and knowledge management protocols, and established
business rules. Continually augment and refine content, structure, and
format of GAO Thesaurus to meet existing and emerging customer needs.
Actively solicit input from indexers, database searchers, web architects
and content providers, librarians, and other GAO and contract staff to
identify changes, modifications, and deletions to the
thesaurus/taxonomies.

Salary:  $50,000-60,000 range

Closing Date:  July 13, 2004
