Dear All
(Apologies for cross-posting)
I am doing a project which is looking at user-friendly ways of navigating
to documents which are on our University website, particularly those
documents which are in our FOI Publication Schema.
To achieve this, I am trying to find a list of some high-level category
terms that would be relevant to people using a university web site. These
key terms would be applied to documents on the web site, and users would be
able to browse the documents using the key terms. (An example of such a set
of category key terms is the Government Category List, which has 12 high
level terms, eg, arts, recreation and travel; education, careers and
employment; international affairs and defence.) With this in mind, I'd be
grateful if anyone out there is using or knows of some high level
categorisation terms that might be useful within a Higher Education
setting. I am aware of the JACS and HESA classification schemes, but these
are entirely based around study-area subjects (eg, geography, science) and
don't cover the administrative parts of university life (admissions,
finance), which web site users also want to find.
I also need a high-level list of document format descriptions, eg, form,
report, minutes, agenda, annual report, etc, if anyone has ideas about these?
Please reply to me and I will summarise for the list.
many thanks
Sarah
