Fw: XML.ORG classification scheme

[Craig Chevrier <craigchevrier@juno.com>]

Attached is the homework I did following last Tuesday's ACXO meeting,
which I sent to the "interested parties" yesterday.  See below for notes
on how to interpret the attached document.

Subject: XML.ORG classification scheme
Message-ID: <20000417.175156.221.0.craigchevrier@juno.com>

As promised, I've looked at and evaluated the NAICS categories and
compared them to the homegrown scheme begin used on the XML.ORG catalog
today.  I think I've found a plan that's both workable and scalable, in
which I've mapped our current classes to NAICS classes. For the purpose
of this communication, I'm calling the parent categories "Classes" and
the subcategories "Categories" for lack of better terminology.  I've also
attached a plain text doc, but the Word version is preferred, since its
formatting conveys info about the classification scheme.

Take a look at the attached document.  Here's a key:
*Bold headers --  Proposed Classes.  These are based on NAICS, in many
cases directly; still, some classes were unclear in NAICS, or were too
large (i.e., Information, which I've divided into 3 classes for our use,
since in NAICS, IT, computing, telecom, for instance, are all in one
class).  The headers are accompanied by brackets which show the NAICS
class with which it's paired, and/or the NAICS class name, in case I've
altered the name for clarity. Some categories will not contain any
specifications (yet).

* Underlined bulleted categories -- the classes from the current XML.ORG
catalog, grouped under the appropriate NAICS class(es).  Several
categories will fall under two or more categories (e.g., Geography,
Voice, Catalogs). Each category is accompanied in brackets by the current
listings in the XML.ORG Catalog which I believe would fall into the
respective category).  

I'd like to hear feedback on this scheme.  The thing I like most about it
is the potential to "explode" each class as specifications are submitted
in potential categories.  The ability to store & track new categories
(and even classes) is functionality that I believe can be built into the
content management system.  This gives us an extremely flexible &
scalable solution to our categorization dilemma.  

I propose we use these 24 categories; we can develop the UI and content
management system so that a category will not appear on the homepage
directory until it's populated with at least one specification, but by
delineating the classes now, we can offer the option to the user to
select it for his/her submission. Jon's right: The maintenance of this
scheme will be an Editorial function, since classes and categories will
be assigned by the user, and approved and reassigned by the Editor.  

Once we have reached agreement, we can forward to the ACXO at large for
there feedback & approval, I presume.  I hope this is all clear to you...
