Social Care Online: subject taxonomy
Published November 2008
The first version of the Social Care Online subject taxonomy was launched in June 2005 to provide a controlled vocabulary and hierarchical arrangement of social care topics for browsing, searching and indexing material on Social Care Online. Now in its third version, the subject taxonomy is available as a SCIE product. The publishing of the Social Care Online subject taxonomy by SCIE is intended to make it freely available and easily accessible to other organisations working in social care. If you are building a database or using subject terms to manage and share social care information please consider using this taxonomy. We hope that using the same terminology across the sector will improve the exchange of information between social care organisations.
Please let us know if you adopt the taxonomy so that we can notify you of any updates.
