==Directory Space==

{{Directory Namespace}}

'''''Directory Space''''' is a protected [[Help:About|MyWikiBiz]] custom namespace that supports advocate point of view ([[APOV]]) for "[[Help:user-owned|user-owned]]" pages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:Discussions regarding Directory listing entries should take place in the respective [[Help:Discussion Namespace|discussion namespace]]s. For example, corporate governance issues respective to publicly-held companies; shout-outs to personalities here enshrined; consumer reviews of products; etc.

When you're ready to create your own Directory listing on Centiare, there are two key elements that you should remember -- 90% of future user searches within Centiare will likely contain either:

==Use the ''official'' NAICS names==

==Use the ''official'' NAICS names==

When you indicate the industry in which you work, it will be most helpful to future [[Special:SearchTriple|semantic searches]] if you use the official NAICS name for your industry.  For example, the NAICS code of [http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/ND111992.HTM#N111992 11199] indicates "'''Peanut Farming'''".   

When you indicate the industry in which you work, it will be most helpful to future [[Special:SearchTriple|semantic searches]] and [[Help:ASK|ASK queries]] if you use the official NAICS name for your industry.  For example, the NAICS code of [http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/ND111992.HTM#N111992 11199] indicates "'''Peanut Farming'''".   

You may like to call your line of work "Goober Growing", but if you choose that name within Centiare, you're just cutting yourself off from the many, many more people who will be looking specifically for the term "Peanut Farming", because they will also be encouraged to enter official NAICS names when searching.

==Use uniform titles when identifying any Key_Person==

Within [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare]], one of the most useful features is the [[Semantic tagging|semantic tag]], which allows for robust [[Centiare:Searching|searching]] of the entire database.  To allow the greatest number of users the greatest chance of successfully finding the records they want, it is helpful to agree on a certain uniformity when naming semantic tags and attributes.

Ideally and if possible, any senior corporate employee should be accorded only one common title in Centiare, to optimize semantic searching.  The more that users adhere to this guideline, the more likely their data will be ''found'' by people using Centiare's [[Special:SearchTriple|semantic search]] utility.  Furthermore, if in doubt about Centiare's "preferred" rank and nomenclature of titles, the following list should be used to force consensus across the many differences that appear in the corporate working world.  Within Centiare, please use '''''only''''' the following labels when naming Key Person titles:

Additionally, consider whether the '''Founder''' of an organization is also the '''CEO''' or '''Chair''' (in which case use the '''CEO''' or '''Chair''' nomenclature), or whether he or she has been relegated to some non-executive role such as "Spokesperson", "Advisor", or some other honorary title (in which case, do not include this person as a '''Key Person''' in the Infobox; rather, notate them in the '''Founder''' field and feel free to write about them in the article space).

Adherence to this Style Guideline should by no means be considered mandatory, nor a perjorative assessment of any person's "actual" title at their company.  It is merely a mechanism to make semantic searching more productive for more Centiare users. If only three companies in the United States choose to call their CIO the ''Data Ninja'', that's very cute, but not at all useful to Centiare users who are looking for ''CIO'' types of personnel in the state of [[Michigan]].

==Calendar Dates==

==Calendar Dates==

While the overall organization of Centiare is flat, certain sections do conform to traditional hierarchical structuring. Dates are one such area. Centiare takes advantage of [[MediaWiki]]'s built-in subpage cross-referencing feature to facilitate hierarchical organization.  Subpages are generated easily by adding a forward-slash ( / ) at the end of the page address, followed by the name of the subpage.

Years and months have their own Main page articles -- for example [[2005]] ''and'' [[December]].  

Years, months and days have their own Main page articles -- for example [[2005]], [[December]] ''and'' [[December_20|December 20]].  

For '''''non-repeating''''' dating purposes, months are treated as subpages within the respective years in which they occur, and days are treated as subpages within the respective years/months in which they occur -- for example, [[2005/July/20|July 20, 2005]].

For '''''non-repeating''''' dating purposes, months are treated as subpages within the respective years in which they occur -- for example, [[2005/July_20|July 20, 2005]].

* References to year-month-day are useful for specific items such as a historical events, newspaper article publishing dates, etc.

For '''''repeating''''' dating purposes, days are treated as subpages within the respective months in which they occur -- for example, [[December/20|December 20]].

For '''''repeating''''' dating purposes, days are treated as stand alone dates with respect to the months in which they occur -- for example, [[March_10|March 10]].

* References to month-day are useful for such items as almanac listings without regard to the actual years in which they occured; e.g., all births of famous actors which occurred on [[June/1|June 1]], all deaths of notable statesmen which occurred on [[March/10|March 10]], etc.
