Instruction Manual Taxonomy

Instruction Manuals are everywhere. We use them when we acquire a new device, a piece of equipment, or a new automobile. There are instruction manuals for all kinds of products, for the assembly of a product, for the decommissioning of a product, for the operation and maintenance of a product, for the servicing of a product, and that is only the beginning. When you have a piece of equipment that needs servicing, the last thing you want to do is spend time searching for its specific instruction manual. This taxonomy includes terms found in areas within an instruction manual and allows you to make the most of the manuals in your collection. It also allows you to find a specific manual in a fraction of the time it would take to search file after file until you find the one you are after. 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 190 terms and 476 synonyms. Top-level terms include:

• Instruction Manuals (16)
• Manual Design (42)
• Cover Page (16)
• Title Page (4)
• Contents Section (7)
• Introduction (2)
• Product Information (37)
• Instruction Categories (37)
• Terms and Conditions of Use (3)
• Additional Resources (16)

While one taxonomy is good, multiple taxonomies to address other areas of your business is better! Check out some of our curated recommendations for other taxonomies that pair well with the
