Facilities Management Taxonomy

Imagine, if you will, a library full of paper copies of all your company’s documents and data. How big would it be? How many stories would be needed to fit all the information about facilities management from your company? Unfortunately, right now in this imaginary library, there is no Dewey Decimal System for your data. Petabytes of data in the form of schematics, reports, forms, whitepapers, and a host of other formats are just loose in this library. How would you find the information you were looking for armed only with your brain and time? Sounds exhausting, or even impossible, right? Thankfully, you don’t have to leave your library of information without an organization or classification system! WAND’s Facilities Management Taxonomy provides the metadata model needed to organize your documents and data in no time. 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 759 terms and 380 synonyms. Top level terms include:
• Facilities Management and Services (221)
• Facilities Policies and Procedures (103)
• Facility Billing and Rates (23)
• Facility Inspections and Testing (43)
• Facility Management Documents (97)
• Maintenance and Repairs (204)
• Safety and Security Management (39)
• Sustainability Management (21)

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

The WAND Taxonomies  are foundation taxonomies, meaning they are designed to provide a strong starting point which can then be customized for the needs of a specific business. It’s difficult to find a taxonomy that will be a perfect fit for your needs straight out of the box, so foundation taxonomies are a great place to start because they can provide an initial 80% starting point and jumpstart. With foundation taxonomies, the time spent developing taxonomy is dramatically reduced. Foundation taxonomies provide a common-sense starting point for all stakeholders in a taxonomy project so that targeted feedback can be provided to customize the taxonomy specifically for your needs.
