Taxonomy plays a vital role in your website’s user experience. Taxonomy itself helps you better organize content when you use it in content management and information architecture. A taxonomy contains axes, which is defined as a specific category and its metadata.

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.

Organize or create a taxonomy for your content. If you don’t have a taxonomy in place, we suggest you implement one that is association-wide. This will only work if taxonomy and tags are uniform. When a solid taxonomy is implemented correctly, it can improve your site’s SEO.

Jeremy Price offered a comment on my last blog post with a link to an excellent article by Lee Shulman on the uses and abuses of taxonomies in educational theory. Dr. Shulman argues that taxonomies, which are often created to distinguish individual elements of a set, are often transformed into hardened ideologies with an implied value on the “higher” or “better” elements in the taxonomy. As Shulman puts out, “the directionality of the taxonomy is situational.”

How are they different from taxonomies? Gavin's post does a great job explaining the definitions and the advantages of a taxonomy over a folksonomy. Alf Gracombe (a relatively new in the nptech blogosphere and whose blog looks promising) suggests that the debate reflects the shifting paradigm away from the more traditional content taxonomies to the emerging folksonomies on today???s Sort of an emergent taxonomy.

I’ll agree with Gavin, that folksonomies sure are less efficient, and a lot more messy than taxonomies. And, there is one really big thing that using taxonomies miss, that folksonomies get: who is doing the categorizing? Taxonomies are developed by specific people for specific purposes, and as such, are limited by worldview and perspective.

Sector – sourcing a taxonomy (for both the funder and the nonprofit seeking funding communities) allows the sector to speak the same language – This taxonomy will be deployed as a part of the outcomes solution. 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.

Is that a formalized taxonomy or not? 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. Particularly if there is some momentum around using the NptechTag "folksonomy" to develop a more formal taxonomy.

With a sector-sourced (and always growing) taxonomy of outcomes and output measurements, this common language will enable those who are already successful in achieving impact to share best practices and for those who are struggling, or just starting their outcomes journey, the ability to jump in.

While the Taxonomy I developed is focused on e-learning for the purpose of the dissertation, it will lend itself to planning other kinds of collaborative processes.
