Taxonomy time

I think it might be useful to add a Taxonomy category to the blog, as a possible way of communicating further on this overlooked subject.

My latest experience - a request for information on 'justice sector' related organisations in the area, at my day job. But we don't have such a grouping in our current database, and the new one beign implemented has 'Domestic Violence' as the nearest. How could such a signiicant area be missing from the categorisation, and how do we fill the gap?

See www.volresource.org.uk for some further links and suggestions on the topic.
