WANDReview September '24 Edition

The latest WAND Taxonomies, Glossaries, CDMs, and Updates


Major Taxonomy Update! WAND Medical Conditions Taxonomy

WAND's Medical Conditions Taxonomy provides a hierarchical list of medical conditions, created for a hospital or other medical business that wants to help make medical information easy to find for doctors, patients, and other stakeholders. As with all our taxonomies, this strong foundation metadata model can be customized to include additional terms relating to your specific needs or industry.


This taxonomy contains 2,331 terms and 2,829 synonyms. (That's almost 3,000 new terms and synonyms!)


Air Traffic Control Taxonomy Update


Our Air Traffic Control taxonomy got a facelift with 456 new terms and synonyms. We provide these updates as part of our subscription model and stay on top of current trends so you don't have to worry about making sure the latest information and best practices is being included in your taxonomy.


As with all our taxonomies, you can view and download the full list of updated terms by visiting the WAND Taxonomy Library Portal.





Human Resources Taxonomy Update


This month, WAND also took some time to update our Human Resources Taxonomy with a focus on a variety of reviews as we enter the fourth quarter.

Type

  • A category of people or things that have similar characteristics

  • An object which serves as a model for subsequent artists

  • The act of writing something on a computer
