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 were the first to support both the auto-update standard and the sixth level of the taxonomy.

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.”

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.

For this, use the Taxonomy module. Taxonomies allow you to tag or classify your content using hierarchal terminology. Once the taxonomy is in place, you can assign menu items to terms in your taxonomy, thus aggregating all of the relevant content on a single page.
