Knowledgebase Structure Overview

Resources in this knowledge base are organized using a two-level category system designed to make them easy to find and understand.

Level 1: Type

The first level, type, classifies a resource based on its fundamental nature, generally following the Schema.org standard. This classification helps determine the most appropriate metadata for each item. For example, a Video Object has a "duration" field, while a Software Application has an "operating system" field.

The primary Types include:

• Book
• Digital Document
• Event
• Learning Resource
• Scholarly Article
• Software Application
• Software Source Code
• Video Object
• Web Content

Level 2: Category

The second level, category, is then assigned to provide more information about the resource's specific purpose. Because this classification is based on function, different Types can share the same Category. For instance, a resource categorized as a Protocol, Manual, or Blog Post could exist as either a webpage (Web Content) or a downloadable file (Digital Document).
