Taxonomy and Tags Glossary
What you need to know about CREW website taxonomy and definitions of the organizations' categories and tags.
What is a taxonomy? In the most basic terms, a taxonomy is a means of classification. When a taxonomy is correctly organized, it ensures that all of our carefully curated content is easy to find and greatly reduces inconsistent, overlapping content that can worsen a user’s experience.
Using the same taxonomy terms and tagging all assets using the same process will result in the best experience. We do not want the marketing team tagging content with their own set of terms and then have member/chapter teams use something similar but different. If we do not share tags from the same taxonomy, we are going to have fractured websites. Users have a richer user experience when we tag appropriately.
