Terminology and guidance for users new to the Rowanvello service

Who this page is for

This page is intended for users who are new to Rowanvello and would like a plain-language explanation of the terms and concepts used throughout the site. It covers common vocabulary, explains how the service's information architecture works, and clarifies what certain service-related phrases mean in the Rowanvello context.

This page does not repeat information that is covered in detail on the main service pages. Instead, it provides supplementary context for users who would benefit from more explanation before engaging with the service.

Key terms used on this site

Information organisation refers to the process of arranging content into a defined structure so that it can be navigated and reviewed more easily. In the Rowanvello context, this means classifying incoming information into categories and presenting it through a readable interface.

Classification is the process by which individual pieces of information are assigned to a category. Rowanvello uses AI-assisted classification, meaning that the categorisation is performed by an automated process guided by the content of the information rather than by manual editorial review.

Taxonomy refers to the set of categories used to organise information within the service. The taxonomy defines the structure through which classified information is made available. Categories within the taxonomy are defined by the service operator and reflect the current scope of the service.

Interface refers to the user-facing part of the service: the screens, navigation elements, and structured displays through which users access classified information. This informational website describes the interface but is not the interface itself.

Enquiry is the term used on this site to describe a message submitted by a user to the Rowanvello support team. An enquiry may be a general question, a request for access, or a request for further information about the service.

Access request is a specific type of enquiry in which the user is asking to be given access to the service interface. Access requests are reviewed by the support team and do not result in automatic confirmation.

How the service's information architecture is structured

Rowanvello organises information using a layered category structure. At the broadest level, the taxonomy divides content into major subject areas. Within each subject area, subcategories provide more specific groupings. Individual items of information are assigned to subcategories based on their content.

Users navigate the taxonomy through the service interface, which presents categories as navigable sections. Items within each section are displayed in a structured format with readable labels and summaries. The interface is designed to allow users to move between sections without losing context about where they are in the overall structure.

The structure of the taxonomy may change over time as the scope of the service develops. Categories may be added, combined, or revised to reflect changes in the content being classified. Users who notice that a category they previously accessed has changed or is no longer available are encouraged to submit an enquiry for clarification.

What "AI-assisted" means in this context

Throughout this site, the phrase "AI-assisted" is used to describe the classification process. This means that the process of assigning content to categories is performed by an automated system that analyses the structure and content of information and applies the taxonomy.

Using this term is a deliberate choice. It is accurate in describing that automated methods are involved, without implying that the system performs tasks that have not been described or verified. It does not mean that the system is capable of understanding information in the way a person would, nor that it is infallible. Classification outputs are the result of a defined technical process and should be understood as such.
