Ontario 211’s Taxonomy Customization Transition

  • Registration Closed

(1 hour session)

ON211's transition to a new data management system has been an opportunity to consider Taxonomy customization from new perspectives: the perspective of a new tool with different processes and designs; and the perspective of new users, such as navigators searching for services, or planning bodies receiving reports on callers' needs. 
This workshop will present the core rationales and principles to consider when making Taxonomy customization/indexing recommendations that facilitate consistency among multiple data contributors while meeting needs for varied purposes. 


Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the rationale behind ON211's indexing standards
  • Make better indexing decisions using a customized Taxonomy
  • Find and use resources to support the indexing process
