Extractions: awarner@lexonomy.com Home Services Presentations ... Publications All of the terms mentioned above are controlled vocabularies. That means that they are organized lists of words and phrases, or notation systems, that are used to initially tag content, and then to find it through navigation or search. Unfortunately, a great deal of disagreement exists as to the individual definitions of each of the terms I mentioned; we spend too much of our valuable time misunderstanding each other. The terminology is in flux; hopefully, at some point, specific definitions will be standardized. I have three purposes in this introduction to the world of controlled vocabularies: Describe where vocabulary control fits into the information architecture of a Web site. Describe the basic steps in controlling vocabulary and how these steps map to the terminology. Provide some basic guidelines and recommendations for creating controlled vocabularies and leveraging them effectively. There are two basic places in information architecture where the form of labels and search terms can be controlled and then often organized in some way, usually hierarchically:

Theoretical interpretations (i.e. possible progenitors ) are listed in the boxes with rounded corners. Examples are listed underneath the observational classes. It should be noted that SN 1987A had a fairly odd behavior (for fairly well understood reasons) and is certainly not a prototypical SN IIP. It was rather sub-luminous, and while it may represent a certain population of sub-luminous SN II, we will probably not detect too many members of this population precisely because they are sub-luminous. SN 1987A may be better classified as an SN IIpec. A theoretical interpretation of observations has driven the organization of this plot. At the left side, there is little or no hydrogen present in the ejecta; as one moves right, there is increasing evidence for hydrogen. SN IIP have a plateau in their post-maximum light curve, while SN IIL do not (Barbon et al 1979). SN IIL and IIP may The current classification scheme has these broad divisions: SN I show no hydrogen lines in their early spectra; SN II do show hydrogen in their early spectra. Subclasses determined by spectral evidence are denoted by lower-case letters, Ia, Ib, Ic, IIb (Woosley et al. 1987; Filippenko 1988), and IIn (Schlegel 1990) .

They are supposed to be the silver bullets that will help users find the needle in the intranet haystack, reduce "friction" in electronic commerce, facilitate scientific research, and promote global collaboration. But before this can happen, practitioners need to dispel the myths and confusion, created in part by the multi-disciplinary nature of the task and the hype surrounding content management technologies.

http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue3_10/bambury/

Extractions: Read related articles on Internet economics This paper attempts to clarify terminology discussing the interface between commerce and the Internet. It is also an empirically derived classification system or taxonomy of existing Internet business models. This taxonomy has two main branches - transplanted real-world business models and native Internet business models. The latter part of the paper discusses the role of business, governments, regulation and ideology in the development of I-Commerce and makes some cautious speculations regarding its future. Introduction There are several terms used to describe business that takes place on the Internet. These include Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce) the Information Economy the Online Economy and Internet Commerce . Literal interpretations of these terms denote particular domains of activity and little rigour is applied to their application. As the terms Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce) the Information Economy , and the Online Economy denote activities not limited to the Internet the term Internet Commerce (or I-Commerce ) will be used in this document to denote commercial activities associated with the Internet.

Learning Domains or Bloom's taxonomy. However, Bloom's taxonomy is easily understoodand is probably the most widely applied one in use today. Cognitive 1.
http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/bloom.html

Extractions: The Three Types of Learning There is more than one type of learning. A committee of colleges, led by Benjamin Bloom, identified three domains of educational activities. The three domains are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Since the work was produced by higher education, the words tend to be a little bigger than we are normally used to. Domains can be thought of as categories. Cognitive is for mental skills (Knowledge), affective is for growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude), while psychomotor is for manual or physical skills (Skills). Trainers often refer to these as KAS, SKA, or KSA (Knowledge, Attitude, and Skills). This taxonomy of learning behaviors can be thought of as "the goals of the training process." That is, after the training session, the learner should have acquires these new skills, knowledge, or attitudes. The committee then produced an elaborate compilation for the cognitive and affective domains, but none for the psychomotor domain. Their explanation for this oversight was that they have little experience in teaching manual skills within the college level (I guess they never thought to check with their sports or drama department). This compilation divides the three domains into subdivisions, starting from the simplest behavior to the most complex. The divisions outlined are not absolutes and there are other systems or hierarchies that have been devised in the educational and training world. However, Bloom's taxonomy is easily understood and is probably the most widely applied one in use today.

Cross-Cutting Issues Global Taxonomy Initiative Background Governments, through the Convention on Biological Diversity, have acknowledged the existence of a "taxonomic impediment" to the sound management of biodiversity. The purpose of the Global Taxonomic Initiative (GTI) is to remove or reduce this taxonomic impediment - in other words, the knowledge gaps in our taxonomic system (including those associated with genetic systems), the shortage of trained taxonomists and curators, and the impact these deficiencies have on our ability to conserve, use and share the benefits of our biological diversity. The GTI has been established by the Conference of the Parties to address the lack of taxonomic information and expertise available in many parts of the world, and thereby to improve decision-making in conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from genetic resources. The GTI is specifically intended to support implementation of the work programmes of the Convention on thematic and cross cutting issues. Given the many competing demands for capacity building in taxonomy, activities under the GTI must be clearly linked to the implementation of Convention.

http://webquest.sdsu.edu/taskonomy.html

Extractions: A Taxonomy of Tasks The task is the single most important part of a WebQuest. It provides a goal and focus for student energies and it makes concrete the curricular intentions of the designer. A well designed task is doable and engaging, and elicits thinking in learners that goes beyond rote comprehension. There must be fifty ways to task your learner. Since 1995, teachers have been adapting the WebQuest model to their own needs and settings, and from their collective wisdom and experience some common task formats have emerged. This taxonomy describes those formats and suggests ways to optimize their use. It provides a language for discussing WebQuest tasks that should enhance our ability to design them well. It's likely that the task in a given WebQuest will combine elements of two or more of these task categories. The categories below are in no particular order other than the placement of Retelling tasks first because of their simplicity and borderline status as the foundation of a good WebQuest. With eleven other task types to choose from, it's time to go beyond mere retelling!

Taxonomy: Classifying Life At least 1.7 million species of living organisms have been discovered, and the list grows longer every year (especially of insects in the tropical rain forest). How are they to be classified? Ideally, classification should be based on homology ; that is, shared characteristics that have been inherited from a common ancestor . The more recently two species have shared a common ancestor, Until recent decades, the study of homologies was limited to However, since the birth of molecular biology, homologies can now also be studied at the level of The figure shows the bones in the forelimbs of three mammals: human, whale, and bat (obviously not drawn to the same scale!).

Extractions: Curriculum Project Contributed by Barbara Fowler, Longview Community College. Bloom's Taxonomy divides the way people learn into three domains. One of these is the cognitive domain which emphasizes intellectual outcomes. This domain is further divided into categories or levels. The key words used and the type of questions asked may aid in the establishment and encouragement of critical thinking, especially in the higher levels. Level 1: Knowledge - exhibits previously learned material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers. Key words: who, what, why, when, omit, where, which, choose, find, how, define, label, show, spell, list, match, name, relate, tell, recall, select Questions: What is . . . ? How is . . . ?

Extractions: Designing and Managing MCQs: Appendix C: MCQs and Bloom's Taxonomy. Contents of This Chapter Following the 1948 Convention of the American Psychological Association, B S Bloom took a lead in formulating a classification of "the goals of the educational process". Three "domains" of educational activities were identified. The first of these, named the Cognitive Domain, involves knowledge and the development of intellectual attitudes and skills. (The other domains are the Affective Domain and the Psychomotor Domain, and need not concern us here). Eventually, Bloom and his co-workers established a hierarchy of educational objectives, which is generally referred to as Bloom's Taxonomy , and which attempts to divide cognitive objectives into subdivisions ranging from the simplest behaviour to the most complex. It is important to realise that the divisions outlined above are not absolutes and that other systems or hierarchies have been devised. However, Bloom's taxonomy is easily understood and widely applied. C1.1. Knowledge.
