XML CCMS DITA S1000D Conference presenter portrait

Judi Vernau is Director of Information Architecture Consultancy for Metataxis Ltd, a company she set up in 2002. Judi has worked in the area of information provision and development for over 30 years, focusing increasingly from the mid 1980s onwards on the structuring and delivery of electronic information, and from the mid 1990s on metadata and classification. After qualifying and practising as a librarian for 5 years, Judi moved into reference publishing, managing several large-scale bibliographic and biographical works in print, microfiche and CD-ROM, and later went on to produce electronic versions of The Independent newspaper for Reed-Elsevier and Nature magazine for Macmillan.

At TSO, Judi provided consultancy in information architecture to various government departments and commercial organizations, including the Commission for Health Improvement, NHS Estates, the House of Lords and Rail Track, as well as devising a metadata schema for TSO itself. At Metataxis her client work has included enterprise information architecture, information architecture for websites, taxonomy development, metadata schema design, and the creation of business classification schemes. Recent clients include Inter-IKEA Systems bv, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, HBOS Treasury Services, Northamptonshire County Council, the CBI, and the Department for International Development.’
