  1. Creating Local Taxonomies

  2. Creating Local Taxonomies • As part of the IPAI inventory, for those who feel the need there is an option to add an additional taxonomy besides the required global taxonomy. • If country teams decide to apply a local taxonomy, it must be predefined and consistently applied during the inventory process.

  3. Creating Local Taxonomies • The local taxonomy can serve to either 1) add a new field (for example, the presence of infomediaries) or 2) add a new category to a field within the global taxonomy (for example, adding the category “community owned” under ownership. NOTE: In this instance you still must choose “other” under ownership in the global taxonomy. Use the local taxonomy to supply detail, not substitute for doing the global taxonomy.)

  4. Creating Local Taxonomies • There may be up to 5 local taxonomy fields, although not all 5 need to be used • The new fields/categories are not hierarchical and no other relationship between them is assumed.

  5. Creating Local Taxonomies • The level indicators should be numeric (1 – 9) • The following slide shows 2 examples

  7. Creating Local Taxonomies • When applying the local taxonomy, please update the data dictionary in the supplied spreadsheet to describe your local taxonomy. • When completing and submitting the spreadsheet, please also submit your local taxonomy key as a Word document.
