VisionLink has improved the Taxonomy Management module, particularly useful to information and referral and 2-1-1 operations. As required by AIRS certification for 2-1-1 call centers, certain categories of the Taxonomy can be flagged as inactive so that services cannot be posted to these categories. In this particular case, the Taxonomy management module supports the AIRS specification, while allowing proactive posting to inactive categories.

We have released an updated version of our auto-update solution to ensure that the categories through which you manage your resource directory are aligned with the ever improving AIRS taxonomy. We were the first to support both the auto-update standard and the sixth level of the taxonomy. For more information about activating this feature switch on your VisionLink CommunityOS system, please contact our help desk.

I’m completely energized. Being around my peers in giving just does that to me. And that’s the experience I had last week in Austin, TX, attending the MicroEdge Solutions Conference. I do admit to being pulled in a few directions.

Taxonomies are developed by specific people for specific purposes, and as such, are limited by worldview and perspective.

There is a usefulness for a formal taxonomy or making it easy to find specific items, particularly for second wave adopters who may not be good at pattern analysis skills or people who can deal with messier data.

Define the site Taxonomy. While you can build a site without a taxonomy, you should only do so for a simple site. A well structured taxonomy helps you make your site navigable; enhances searching; and provides a great tool for pyramid-style content management, with broad topics on one level and the ability to refine and dig deeper intuitively built into the site.
