categorization – Does the average user understand the difference between “tagging” and “categories”?

As a UX professional, I’m not convinced there really is a difference.

The article jonshariat links to makes a case for categories being mutually exclusive. If universally true, then that’s perhaps the one difference, but given that many sites use tags as a form of category browser, I don’t think that holds true either.

But let’s assume it does. From an end-user navigation POV, the difference is then whether or not your ‘buckets’ are meant to be mutually exclusive of not. So, perhaps that’s the question you need to ask…for the particular needs of your users of your site, should the data be put into mutually exclusive buckets, shared across buckets, or both?

As for ‘understanding’ that, well, that’s up to how you design the UI to navigate the structure.

Integration architecture: data categorization – Software Engineering Stack Exchange

I’m currently in the process of analyzing our company’s interfaces, which are not document nor centrally managed and as a result, very heterogeneous. As this is a huge task and it’s part of a master thesis, I’m concentrating on three conceptual information:

  • Overview of the system (subdomain)
  • Logical interfaces (specific attributes like direction, transformation complexity etc.)
  • Data categorization

The last step gives me a bit of a hard time; as it’s a scientific work, I would need some reasoning, how and why I would categorize data, but I didn’t find anything about that topic in literature. Checking enterprise frameworks like TOGAF and Zachmann, but also known books like “Enterprise Integration patterns”, “Microservices patterns” etc., I didn’t find any good source about that topic.

The only hint I found was in a PluralSight course with this image:
enter image description here

But I didn’t find any more information where this is from nor does the author give details, how to proceed hereby.

Is there a known data categorization strategy around? Or is this just not worth the effort and it makes sense to not categorize the data at all?

categorization – Categories tree structure UI with brands and setting value with inheritance

Let we have a tree of categories as first column and commission as a second column. Commission has inheritance abilities, e.g. if I set commission on Category 1 by default it will be applied to Category 2

enter image description here

We can set commission also to brands for different categories, simplest example:

enter image description here

Currently it duplicates category row, but with brand label.

If we set brand commission on parent category it should be inherited by subcategories. In current UI it will duplicate a subtree:

enter image description here

How to display it without duplication of subtrees of categories?

categorization – Nested categories in sidebar

I want to build a sidebar with categories and sub-categories in it, so to say nested categories, but without a limitation on depth, so you can have as many sub categories of unlimited number of parent categories.

The thing and the problem is, that the sidebar is limited by width and when sub-category is present, it is nested with a bit of right padding(to illustrate it is a sub-category), so if you have enough depth in sub-categories it can cause problems, as there is limitation of width and therefor there won’t be any space left to add right padding. I can’t find a good solution for this, please share your thoughts with me, perhaps we could find a better way around.

Here’s a picture to illustrate how it might look:

Google sheets – Automatic categorization of expenses

I'm looking for a way to automate the categorization of a current list of expenses.

So in the column B I have expenses listed (automatic import directly from financial institutions) and in the column C I have a drop down list for data validation.
Is there a good way to automatically populate the drop-down list of categories in the column C for some of the most common items in the column B?

For example:
if Column B contains the text "transfer to", fill in the corresponding cell in the column C with the "Transfers" drop-down menu. Or if the column B contains the text "Paycheck", fill in the corresponding cell in the column C with "Income".

ct.category theory – horizontal categorization: two questions

According to the nlab, horizontal categorization is a process in which a concept is realized as equivalent to a certain type of category with a single object, then this concept is generalized to the same type of categories with an arbitrary number of objects. The prototypical example is the concept of group, which horizontally categorizes the concept of groupoid. It is well known that in some parts of algebraic topology, groupoids are much more practical than groups. Similarly, monoids are categorized into categories, rings into linear categories, etc.

I have two questions about this. Let C be a concept which horizontally categorizes a concept D.

1) In many examples, C and D have been known and developed independently of each other. Or at least, D was not introduced as a horizontal categorization of C, but rather this connection was made later. For example, I'm pretty sure that the k-linear categories weren't introduced as a horizontal categorization of k-algebras; instead, they were introduced due to the abundance of examples of (large) k-linear categories that appear in everyday mathematics. Although representation theory seems to be in a current advance from a generalization of k-algebras to small k-linear categories, the concept of a k-linear category was already there before that. Are there examples where D was developed for the purpose of classifying C, let's say to solve some problems which concern C but which cannot be solved with C alone? Maybe categories C * (categorize C * algebras) could provide such an example, but I don't know the history of this concept. And maybe there are other examples too?

2) In all the examples I know, it is trivial that C has a horizontal categorization and that it is D. Are there more interesting examples where, when you look at C, it doesn & # 39; is not even clear how to interpret C as a category type with an object? I would like to see examples where the connection between C and D is deep and surprising. These examples should illustrate why horizontal categorization is an important and useful concept in practice.

I could also ask a more provocative question: if a mathematician working outside of category theory reads the nlab article in its current form, why should he even care, because, after all, concepts C and D have already been there without the categorization process?

categorization – How to manage transactions that can belong to several categories?

Interesting question. You are right if you categorize transactions into more than one category, the sum of the categories will not equal the sum of the total transactions.

The following questions then come to mind:

  1. Do they have to add up? are you working on an accounting system that has this as a requirement for example.
  2. Do the categories have a logical hierarchy rather than being siblings? That way you could make the total work.
  3. Could you have a "main" or "accountant" category and then a list of display categories? This may mean that in the global list, you can put the cost in one place, but you can display it in more than one place.

Overall, I think you should consider this in the information architecture problem, but depending on your use cases.

For example, in your example, if the transaction is both a car expense And one insurance if i want to see all my insurance transactions, you will probably show it. But what if I want to see all of my car expenses? Where / how to show it?

Now, come to think of it, it looks like the "category" might not be enough to describe your transactions. In particular, car expenses would likely include all expenses related to a car. It seems like you might want something like a "category" for "insurance" and then a "subject" or "subject" for a car.

ids – Scenario Categorization with Deep Packet Inspection – Intrusion Detection

I am researching intrusion detection systems (IDS) and deep packet inspections (DPI). Assuming a system in which the values ​​are transmitted to a validation system and the validation system validates (checks anomalies, for example by statistics, machine learning, etc.) the transmitted data.

  • Is the validation process called DPI, even when only the payload is studied?
  • Is the validation process called network-based intrusion detection or is it called something different?

Visual categorization of table columns? – User Experience Stack Exchange

In our data table, we have three types of columns. Let's call these types A, B and C. There is only one column that is type A, maybe 4 to 7 columns of type B and the others are of type C (the least important ).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to visually communicate these column categories? I've thought of using an icon somehow, but it seems a bit bulky because our table is so cluttered. Thank you.
