Directoryz

Define clear boundaries between directory categories

Categories become difficult to maintain when their meanings overlap without a rule. Contributors then classify similar listings differently.

Put it into practice

Write an inclusion rule, exclusion rule, and example for each category. Resolve borderline cases before adding more labels.

What this looks like

An integration directory can separate data storage from data visualization by the primary task performed, while allowing supporting tags.

Before you move on

Could two editors classify the same listing consistently?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Start with a real visitor question.
  2. Test labels against representative listings.
  3. Keep category changes understandable for editors and visitors.

Where Directoryz fits

Directoryz supports directory publishing, listings and custom fields, CSV imports, submission review, and workspace operations. These guides include editorial workflows you can carry out with a worksheet or your own tools. They do not imply that every audit, reminder, verification, or integration is automated by Directoryz.
