den Karte provides a variety of services that leverage our 'data cartographics' concept and which can be delivered individually or in combination to build a business information roadmap.

reference taxonomy design

den Karte provides business metadata design with an emphasis on reference taxonomies used in financial reporting and analysis, including chart of accounts, product, channel, and other dimensions used to organize content to address reporting and analytic information needs.
