  3. TERMINOLOGY SERVICES

  4. Key Customers • Human Customers • EPA vocabulary developers • Policy makers defining terms in regulations • System developers selecting XML tags and defining data elements • Program managers and researchers seeking terms and glossaries perhaps via the portal • Non-EPA vocabulary developers interested in environmental terms • People trying to use terms and definitions consistently • Stakeholders, partners and the public • System Customers • Search engines – to expand searches or provide the basis for taxonomies or folders • Enterprise content management – source of value domains and controlled vocabularies • Other systems that use pick lists

  5. Current Customers • Web Taxonomy for tagging web pages is being managed • Extensions are being added for water and enforcement and compliance • Quality Glossary for “standardizing” terms related to data quality • Systems such as the web-Content Management System using Documentum and the Northern Lights search engine • Recently contacted to export the Web Taxonomy for purpose of “standardizing” tags for Watershed Central wiki entries in combination with user tagging; will be visualized by tag clouds
