  1. Susan Fagan, OEI, OIAA September 2006 Web Taxonomy Project

  2. Taxonomy project progress Kick-off meetings (4/12) Business case session (5/8) 1 Business Case Interviews Metadata session (5/16) via phone Business case Vocabularies session (5/25) 2 Metadata Specification Draft spec Added Metadata & vocabulary review session (6/7) 3 Vocabulary Development Editorial session (6/20) ID & gather Draft & test taxonomy 4 Testing & Guidelines EPA testing Draft guidelines 5 Governance Process 4/9 4/16 4/23 4/30 5/7 5/14 5/21 5/28 6/4 6/11 6/18 6/25 7/2 Governance session (7/6)

  3. What was done • Defined the value of taxonomy to EPA and its constituencies. • Factored out the discrete facets (people, places, organizations, and things) from existing vocabularies. • Specified how to maintain them as separate controlled vocabularies. • Tagged some content using the facets in combination. • Developed editorial & governance guidelines.

  4. Overall Web Taxonomy goals • Provide a single methodology for categorizing information across EPA offices, programs, and regions. • Reduce the time it takes to successfully target and find cross-Program/Region information • Enable and enforce content linking across the agency • Build common agency-wide terminology resources • Eliminate multiple, ambiguous taxonomies • Eliminate multiple glossaries, abbreviations and acronyms • Group things differently depending on the context • e.g., ground water with drinking water, or ground water with water quality • Get the right content to the right people in the right format at the right time.

  5. Metadata goals/recommendations • Require metadata. • Make it easy to add & change metadata. • Incorporate metadata into content workflow. • Pre-populate metadata for user approval. • Provide incentives for quality user-contributed metadata (search results, more links). • Provide almost instantaneous feedback using that metadata. • Make it easy to change website organization without having to re-index or re-code pages.

  6. Personalized content delivery requires defining taxonomy facets

  7. EPA Web Taxonomy: Topics sub-facets Topics Economics & Policy Topics Emergencies & Cleanup Topics Environmental Media Topics Human Health Industrial Research, Prevention & Control Communities Economics & Financing Global Climate Change International Cooperation Risk Assessment Technical Assistance Technical Cooperation Voluntary Partnerships • Cleanup • Brownfields • Cleanup Technology • Corrective Actions • Storage Tanks • Superfund • Emergencies • Accidents • Contingency Plans • Counter-Terrorism • Disasters • Emergency Preparedness • Oil Spills • Poisoning • Radiation Emergencies • Storage Tank Spills Air Ecosystems Waste Water Advisory Children’s Health Exposure Food Safety Health Assessment Health Effect Health Risk Occupational Health Pesticide Effects Senior's Health Sun Protection Toxicity Industrial Ecology Industrial processes Large Buildings Orphaned Sources Pesticide Topics Radiation & Radioactivity Small Business Storage Tanks Pollution Prevention Physical Aspects Research Treatment & Control

  8. Using the EPA Web Taxonomy is different • No longer parking content in just one place. • Tag content with as many terms as necessary to describe What the content is about & Why it is important. • Anticipate how the content will be searched for in the future, & how to make it easy to find.

  9. Taxonomy tagging example 1

  10. EPA Web Taxonomy Editorial Rules • There are 24 rules covering issues such as Capitalization, Abbreviations, Plural noun forms, Spaces, Synonyms, Acronyms, Alphabetic ordering, etc

  11. Recommended governance outlook • Measure & improve mindset • Gather & evaluate suggestions. • Detect & correct errors. • Examine user activity, such as query logs. • Integrated handling of Taxonomy, Metadata, UI, & Search • To be most effective, these must work together. • Governance structure can help that happen. • Form Taxonomy Committee which reports to the Web Council and is responsible for taxonomy maintenance (Gather changes, Review and prioritize changes, Approve changes)

  12. Recommended governance structure
