Content Classification Scheme (CCS)
Do you work with information about rights, advice and the law? Do you display this information on a website, or store it in a database or filing system? If so, the CCS is a way of classifying information which can benefit your organisation and its users.
The CCS is a 'content classification scheme' designed for use on websites providing information to members of the public on rights and legal issues. The aim of the CCS is to make it easier for users of these websites to track down the information they're looking for. It does this by providing:
- a standard framework within which to categorise rights and legal information materials (consisting of approximately 350 terms organised into a hierarchical structure of category headings) called the CCS Headings
- a network of search terms, leading users to the appropriate heading in the CCS, called the CCS Thesaurus.
