Taxonomy

We have developed the MediaWell taxonomy with input from our academic advisory board, research librarians, and other experts in the field. We consider this to be a work in progress with fluid categories. Please feel free to use or adapt the following list of categories and tags, with credit to MediaWell and the Social Science Research Council.

We welcome feedback on this and other aspects of the project at mediawell@ssrc.org.
