Taxonomy for Non-Profit Space

Goals

To find information on currently available resources that can be used in building a taxonomy for the non-profit space. 

Early Findings

Enterprise taxonomy "is typically defined as a classification system that spans the enterprise, including the full range of asset types, the business groups within the organization, and the systems and tools that support content management and presentation."
Enterprise taxonomy enables "dynamic presentation of content, content in context, automation, personalization/customization, content reuse, more effective content management
, and easier and cheaper localization."
A well-structured taxonomy system within any business enterprise is important because such a system is central to multiple business functions including business intelligence, content strategy and management, digital asset management, knowledge management, and user experience.
A detailed overview of the business functions listed above can be found here. 
The National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) appears to be a resource that can be used by non-profits when building a taxonomy.
