Current "Sectors" vocabulary is too long, to make it more usable we are going to group Sectors into up to 10 Categories. This issue is for refining the list of terms.

Proposed categories and sectors:

Art Business Government & Non-profit Society Personal Education & Science Sport Technology
Animation
Architecture
Cultural Heritage
Cultural institutions
Dance
Fine arts
Literature
Music
Museums
Movies
Photography
Beauty & Fashion
Banking and Financial
Clothing
Corporate
Consulting
Design
Entertainment
E-commerce
Enterprise
Journalism
Food & beverage
Furniture
Health & Fitness
Insurance
Labor unions
Legal Industry
Manufacturing and Energy
Marketing
Media
Newspapers
Publishing
Real Estate
Retail & distribution
Small business
Startups

Non-profit organizations
Public Sector
Urban planning
Celebrities
Community
Family & Parenting
Non-Governmental Organizations
Politics

Baseball
Biking
Football
Golf
Hockey
Martial arts
Olympics & Competitions
Rugby
Tennis
Winter sports
Consumer electronics
Hardware & Software
Internet
Mobile

Telecommunications
Wireless

We'll also add "Other" category for case studies that do not fit into any.

Is this a place we could include year and "hall of fame" status, or should these be for market sectors only?

I think this should be for market sectors only. We are going to add Status field to case studies with values "Community" and "Featured", we could add "Hall of fame" there and then create separate view for this type of case studies. And year also could be separate field.

I started to group Sectors by Categories at the issue summary. Suggestions are welcome.

+1 to breaking them down; I'd still like to review them a bit more

FYI he Marketplace (Preview) uses the Sectors so it needs to work for both sections (reorganizing should be fine, but not sure if introducing parent/child will break the Marketplace nav...ask drumm?)

Go ahead and try some term reorganization on a dev site and see if it breaks marketplace. I wouldn't be surprised if it broke, but not sure how without looking.

Postponing this one. Reorganizing does break Marketplace navigation. We'll implement initial redesign with simple 1-level navigation and then watch while getting more case studies - which terms and their groupings makes more sense.

Suggestions for taxonomy:

(1) Small, Medium, Large - that way a potential client can survey sites relative to the size of their own organisation and needs

(2) Three meta-categories

  • for-profit
  • non-profit and charitable organisations
  • government

or else

  • private sector
  • public sector
  • non-profits and charitable organisations

Some thoughts:

I feel the approach to taxonomy may be using an "old paradigm". Top down and hierarchical.

I'm thinking about Data Visualisation and Mandlebrot.

Is there a way to create a taxonomy that is organic, flexible, can "shape shift", accommodate new categories that are potentially leading edge but not commonly used at this time.

I'm uploading some image I found on fractals.

Some questions:
- What other ways are there to organize a taxonomy ?
- I can think of one --- the WordPress tag cloud.
- Are there other examples we can evaluate for the needs of this project ?
- Am I correct to think we may be attempting a taxonomy using an old paradigm ?

Small, medium, large --- simplistic terms. What I mean, perhaps, is the ability to select websites measured (quantified) according to certain critiera.

For example:
- cost of the website (eg, $5,000 ? $50,000 ? $500,000)
- person-hours it took to design and build the website (40 hrs ? 240 hrs ? = to one full-time job for one year ?)
- the size of the client organisation served by a website (eg. small independent business, regional chain, national chain, globalized operation ?)
