Syndication/spec/institutional classification

From Steeple

Categories for institution / division / department / group. The categories can be specified in the feed header, or on an entry-item level below. For the organisational master feed, only the 'organisation' is required. If this was a master feed for a department, the corresponding categories would also be present. The 'dividision' is whatever structure is present between 'organisation' and 'department', it can be omitted.

<category scheme="http://purl.org/steeple/organisation" label="Oxford University" term="http://www.ox.ac.uk" />

Preference for categorisation to be in the feed header. The most specific use of the element counts, so item overrides feed header.

 <atom:category scheme="http://purl.org/steeple/organisation" term="http://www.ox.ac.uk" label="Oxford University" />
 <atom:category scheme="http://purl.org/steeple/division" term="<e.g. via LDAP>" label="Section of Physical Sciences" />
 <atom:category scheme="http://purl.org/steeple/department" term="<e.g. via LDAP>" label="Physics Department" />
 <atom:category scheme="http://purl.org/steeple/group" term="" label="" />
 
<!--
For 'term' e.g. can use LDAP identifier.
terms needs to be identified at http://purl.org/steeple/department
-->
 <atom:category scheme="http://purl.org/steeple/department" term="CARET" label="Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies" />
<--

Normally at most one of each (organisation/dividsion/department/group) would be given. However, more than one can be given if there is joint ownership.

department/institution are used equivalently. department is used for departments, institution is used for other entities at the same organisation level (like colleges, or other centers).

[edit] 1.1 'division'

'Division' means something that is inbetween the top level organisation and the department: This might be a 'school', 'section', or 'division'.
