Wordmap is bought

Earley and Associates, an information architecture firm, has bought Wordmap, according to an article in KMWorld. WordMap makes tools for constructing, viewing and navigating taxonomies, including a pattern-matching tool for automating some of the construction process. From having poked around their site, Wordmap seems to be all about the top-down side of taxonomic life, a side that we continue to need to do well even as the bottom wells up.
