About

Masters of knowledge organization

Dovecot Studio is an information management consultancy that helps companies optimize the way they structure and manage the content that supports their business. Rooted in information science, we apply our expertise in taxonomies, metadata schemas, and other knowledge organization systems to enhance findability and usability.

We listen to — and partner with — our clients to create tailored and sustainable solutions that meet their current challenges and support future growth.

What We Do

Purpose-driven, elegant design, custom solutions

Taxonomy and metadata don’t have to be daunting. They can be simple but powerful, or sophisticated but actionable, but they should always be fit-to-purpose. We partner with you to build solutions that are tailored to fit your unique challenges and context.

How we do it

We aren’t just consultants, we’re advisors

We want to understand the full picture, always keeping in mind your context and what will best serve you now and in the future. We collaborate with you to get a complete view of the challenges you’re facing in other areas that impact content management, such as content strategy or enterprise data. This way we can design more holistic solutions that align with your larger strategy.

We understand that our domain can be difficult to understand. To help those who are new to semantics, we explain complex ideas in a simple and straightforward way. We try to make working on metadata both enjoyable and rewarding, helping your team better understand and communicate the value of semantic structure.

“This team is smart, tenacious, passionate and gets things done.”

Why Dovecot?

Our name comes from “dovecote”: a compartmental structure for housing doves or pigeons. They are honeycombed with niches where birds come to nest.

These structures provide order and belonging. Every bird has a home… just like every piece of content, document or data element should.
