Welcome to the Categorization Liaisons Portal!

What is a Categorization Liaison?

Category Liaisons are members of the Categorization Project who are appointed by Project Leader(s) and act as a representative of their parent project. The role of a Liaison is typically filled by Project Leaders, Project Coordinators or Team Leaders; however, any member may be appointed by the project's leadership.

Once a Liaison has been appointed to the Categorization Project, the Liaison will be given the Categorization Badge and will be listed on this page. The Liaison will be responsible for ensuring that communication is maintained between their parent project and the Categorization Project. This commitment means routinely monitoring the the Categorization Google Group discussions for any topics, proposals or discussions that may be of interest to their project, and relaying that information back and forth to their parent project and the Categorization Project.

Other members of this Team will include members of the Categorization Project who have been invited to join because of their commitment to and understanding of Categorization guidelines, their broad perspective of how categorization affects WikiTree as a whole, and their prior experience with this Project.

Goals

Liaisons will regularly:

• communicate and consult with other Liaisons and the Categorization Project in order to determine correct naming and placement of project-related categories;
• provide review, advice and discussion on proposed changes or developments in project-associated category hierarchies;
• facilitate discussion in the G2G forum in regard to major changes in the established category hierarchy or the addition of new hierarchies/structures;
• review the categorization hierarchy to assure that it is intelligible and useful;
• identify, discuss and help to resolve policy issues that affect general categorization; and
• identify ways that categorization can best assist the objectives of WikiTree members in doing genealogy.
