Norwich, UK | Announcement | Tiger Eye and noslegal | 7th July 2026
Tiger Eye, the legal technology specialist dedicated to Harnessing Knowledge and Unleashing Potential, has announced that a ready-to-use taxonomy can now be delivered for Tiger Eye Blueprint, the trusted, secure Knowledge Management platform connected to both iManage and SharePoint. Through this update, users can classify, tag and govern knowledge content from the outset, underpinned by an industry-recognised taxonomy and legal data standard.
The release leverages the taxonomy built by noslegal: an open-source, non-profit legal data standards project. The standardised taxonomy or classification scheme is widely available for categorising legal work, matter records, and knowledge assets. The Tiger Eye Blueprint update specifically uses noslegal V4, the latest version of the taxonomy which was launched in May 2026.
Firms can now adopt the Tiger Eye Blueprint Knowledge Management platform with noslegal’s taxonomy readily embedded. Key supporting fields are also pre-configured, to ensure knowledge assets are tagged, structured and organised in alignment with the taxonomy.
A targeted bundle of 14 new pre-configured fields are also available out-of-the-box within Tiger Eye Blueprint as part of the update, each designed to enable knowledge teams and law firm leaders to curate, tag, categorise and govern content. The release includes a number of fields specifically designed to support the noslegal taxonomy, including work types; areas of law; participants; roles; sectors; places; process elements; information types. Further fields, designed by Tiger Eye to support curation, such as fields which highlight how best to use assets. While these fields will be automatically created during the set-up of Blueprint, they remain fully customisable, giving clients the flexibility to adapt, add or remove them as their approach to Knowledge Management evolves.
Combining a readily available taxonomy with a pre-tailored and optimised platform, this update provides a practical starting framework for firms who are just beginning to secure and structure knowledge. With Tiger Eye’s and noslegal’s taxonomy working in harmony, the update also removes common barriers to Knowledge Management adoption, including creating a taxonomy, and designing KM technologies to support this.
Commenting on the new update, Sam Hudson, Chief Growth Officer at Tiger Eye, added:
“As an organisation dedicated to Harnessing Knowledge and Unleashing Potential, we are passionate about helping firms of all types to begin managing knowledge. However, it can take organisations months or even years to create the essential foundations needed for managing knowledge, including data standards and a taxonomy.
This is why noslegal’s work in developing an open-source, standardised and truly accessible taxonomy is so important, and we’re pleased to amplify the results of this fantastic initiative and community.
By embedding noslegal’s taxonomy into Tiger Eye Blueprint, we can accelerate the path to legal Knowledge Management for many organisations, by offering a taxonomy (and fields) which are ready to use from day one, but customisable for the future.”
Graeme Johnston, founder of noslegal, added:
“Over the last few years, with better uses of data increasingly within reach in legal work, there has been increasing realisation of the importance of laying a strong taxonomical foundation. But that’s easier said than done. Realising the difficulty of this, we’ve built the noslegal taxonomy in four stages since 2020 in close consultation with leading law firms and in-house legal teams.
The fact that it is now available in leading software products such as Blueprint means that organisations have a strong ready-to-go taxonomy which can meet most needs out of the box and can readily be extended to cover more specific requirements.”
