Controlled Vocabulary

One of the hardest decisions that will need to be made when making a web site is what vocabulary will be used. The web site will have a homepage with tags on it. Depending the users the vocabulary will be simple or more advanced. It is important to keep the drop down menus basic. Drop down menus are a good place to start when navigating a web site. Once the user has narrowed it down to specifically what they are looking for they can then navigate away from the homepage. Controlled vocabulary is especially useful when searching a database or library catalog.
