June 2, 2014 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on NIOSH’s Office of Mine Safety and Health Research Implements Taxonomy-based Navigation

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Office of Mine Safety and Health Research (OMSHR) has implemented a taxonomy-based navigation tool on their website — called “Site Browser” — that allows researchers and other users to browse content tagged with subject terms from their taxonomy.

Site Browser also lets users fine-tune their search by adding and/or removing keywords after using the vocabulary to perform an initial search.

This is a wonderful example of the kind of semantic search and navigation made possible by implementing robust taxonomy-based indexing on a public-facing website.
