Classification Principles
How content classification decisions are made
The basis for classification
Content within the Coblewuz reference is classified on the basis of three considerations: the subject of the content, the type of information it contains, and the user need it is intended to address.
Subject classification groups content that relates to the same aspect of the platform. For example, content about the enquiry process is grouped together regardless of whether it appears on the enquiry page, the overview, or the functions section.
Type classification distinguishes between descriptive content, procedural content, and legal or policy content. Descriptive content explains what something is; procedural content explains how to do something; legal content sets out conditions and obligations.
How classification affects navigation
The classification structure of the reference is reflected in the navigation. The four main sections correspond to the four primary subject areas of the reference: the overall introduction, the platform overview, the functions description, and the enquiry channel.
Within each section, content is further organised by type. Users who are looking for procedural guidance will generally find it later in a section, after descriptive context has been established. Legal and policy content is held in dedicated pages that are accessible from every page of the reference.
This structure is intended to serve both linear readers and those navigating directly to a specific section. Neither mode of reading is assumed to be primary.
Reading the Reference
How to approach the information architecture
-
Start with the home page if you are new to Coblewuz
The home reference page is designed as an entry point. It introduces the platform, summarises its purpose, and provides routes to the three other main sections. First-time visitors are encouraged to begin there before exploring in detail.
-
Use the overview to understand the structure
The overview page explains how the reference itself is organised. If you find the information architecture confusing, the overview is the appropriate place to seek orientation. It describes what each section contains and how classification decisions have been made.
-
Consult the functions page for capability detail
The functions page provides the most detailed account of what the Coblewuz system is able to do. It describes individual capabilities and the access process. Users who have read the overview and are ready to assess whether the system suits their needs should read the functions section next.
-
Use the enquiry page to make contact
The enquiry page is the appropriate channel for all communication with the support team. Whether you have a question about the reference or wish to begin an access request, the enquiry form and contact details are the correct starting point.
-
Review the supplementary pages for further background
The details, extra, privacy, and terms pages provide background that complements the main reference sections. They are not required reading for all users but contain information that is relevant to specific questions about scope, conditions, and terminology.
