What's It?
This page is referenced by all category pages. Click Ref-by to list all of them. To learn more about idea of categories, read http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CategoryCategory
Categorization of Wiki Content
All pages should be tagged with the categories corresponding to the products (UDA, Virtuoso, iODBC), functionality realms (Blog, Gallery, Admin), subsystems (SPARQL, SQL, RDF), etc., being discussed.
Additionally, the function of the document relative to the subject matter (e.g., Spec, Documentation, Plan) must be indicated.
Tagcloud
This forms a matrix of function x product, where multiple products and functions may sometimes be covered by one page. Thus, searching for ` Category Virtuoso Category QAReport` should deliver a list of (only) Virtuoso-related QA Reports.Tagcloud
Create new categories as appropriate -- but please always keep the Category Word singular (i.e., Category Module not CategoryModules; Category Category not CategoryCategories).Document Function
| Category Spec | Any specification, no matter the level of detail covered. |
| Category Plan | Any schedule, roadmap, project plan, task assignment document or similar. |
| Category QA | Any QA checklist or report. QA Reports get their own. |
| Category QAReport | Any QA checklist or report. QA Reports get their own. |
| Category Competition | Any review or commentary or list of competitive products. The paper should be categorized additionally with the Virtuoso or UDA product categories to which the competition applies. |
| Category Documentation | Anything that documents a finished piece of functionality. Is not applied to the actual wiki version of the documentation since this is outside of the main cluster. |
| Category Report | Any report concerning work performed (except Weekly and QA Reports) |
| Category Marketing | Any planned or actual marketing material, press material or such. |
| Category Product | Any page that is an index of pages related to a particular product. One page of Category Product sort per every product listed in Bugzilla, but no more. |
| Category Module | Any page that is an index of pages related to a particular module of a big program. One page of Category Module sort per every module of every product listed in Bugzilla, but no more. |
