To help faculty and students find software for teaching, learning, and research, we’re developing an online inventory of such software on a site we’ve called Techne.
One of the challenges of software inventories is figuring out how to organize the various types of software available. Currently, we are using 5 taxonomies including those for techniques, platforms, disciplines, and vendors.
To help users navigate the site, we use the Search and Filter plugin which allows users to select multiple taxonomy terms and see all the software that matches all of these selections.
