My company is going to build a service provider directory.  I have been asked to build the IT Services taxonomy that these providers will be categorized in.  Our directory will be 3 levels.  Are there existing examples of fleshed out IT services directories that I could use as examples?

That looks like a Columnar Report.  You could use the Auto Report function.  Now, I'm assuming that each of those training fields aren't actually separate fields but different records.  \nSomething like this: \nTrainingfield | NameCountryOrgSec | Deki...\nComputer | US | fsds\nNetworking | CN | oweh\n\nIs that correct?

Most states don't use independent contractors, except for therapies (ST, OT, PT). \n\nIn my district, our early intervention team consists of district-employed social workers, special education teachers and educational assistants (for ages 3-5 DD preschool), coordination with Head Start and other programs, and independent contractors for therapies.

Level 1:\nLocation (country/city etc)\n\nLevel 2:\nCompany Name\n\nIf your emails are gonna b from one single company, then you can consider further granularity by categorizing them by department (or  even down to person)...

How about doing one on how to use Yahoo answers?  The outline is already laid out for you.  Just copy the categories and start from there.

You're going to a directory, not a page.\nEvidently, there are no default pages set up for that \nparticular directory.

Your question is pretty open-ended... And you got so many questions here! :)\n\nClassification of database server... There are usually four classes that I see: desktop, multi-user, client-server, cluster-server. Those may not be the formal terms used in the industry, BTW. As I did not read YOUR text, I may have a different system of classification than your text, so... caveat emptor! :)\n\ndesktop -- your typical single user database, Access, Paradox, Filemaker, etc. \n\nMulti-user -- most of these programs will also work with multiple users when installed and configured on a network. \n\nClient-server -- A dedicated server program, that talks to SQL clients over a network. Examples are MS SQL Server, Oracle 9i, and so on. \n\nCluster-Server -- a database server that runs on a GROUP of servers (i.e. a cluster) \n\nWhere are they used? Anywhere there is data! Accounting system has a database system as its foundation. All Customer Relations Management (CRM) software are basically databases. A mailing list is a database, so is an addressbook, a phonelist, and so on. Most websites (such as this Yahoo Answers site) that requires interaction has a database backend where answers and questions and user data are stored. \n\nCommunication between the client and the server: there is no "standard" per se for those communications. Microsoft tried to impose a standard way back when, and with a little help from third-party the standard, known as ODBC (open database connectivity) actually stuck. Basically it defined a set of SQL commands that a database must minimally support. In other cases, the communication between client and server is that database's proprietary information. \n\nAdvantages? A database basically makes finding something easier. Say you want to check who among your clients are in California, or more specifically, northern California, you can find out by tapping a few commands, instead of going through each and every client record. For a short list there wouldn't be much difference, but the longer the list, the bigger the time savings. When the entry is a few thousand lines long, it is no longer practical to do by hand, and just imagine the size of a database used by the IRS to keep track of your tax info! The more complicated databases can also handle permissions, giving some people ability to enter but not delete, others view only, and so on and so forth. \n\nDisadvantage? Database usually cost money, at least the commercial ones. And most have a proprietary format and special commands that require expertise to use. You will need someone to set it up, then populate the data, and you will need\nsomeone to administer it later. It is another layer of complexity and expense. A database server that works well demands hefty hardware. We're not talking $500 desktops here, but rather $10000 dedicated servers armed with dual or quad Xeons / Opterons and 5-7 disk RAID arrays, and we haven't counted the software itself yet!

Dude; your talking about information organised into catergories and within a central mainframe ---> this basically means you need to create a content management system or download a free one for your webserver ( i assume you have a server) i recommend nucleuscms.org however if you want another search 'content management system' in google and you can download and install loads of free ones into your server to use them to organise data effectively to achieve you goal this can be done following their tutorials in less that 6hours to have a working car-sales website

Lots of possibilities, however these come at a cost, I'll give you one.......\n\nRoute planning, should it expand enough, your service could be incorporated with another service, thus; while providing directions, these directions could be "smart".
