"A class of entity for whom the resource is intended or useful. A class of
entity may be determined by the creator or the publisher or by a third party."
Representative: terms represent audiences that are of importance for
the Government of Canada. Suggestion: include audiences identified in the Speech
from the Throne or other government priority documents.
High level: terms represent broad audience types than can be further
expanded into detailed schemes.
Applicable: terms represent audiences targeted by a significant number
of Government of Canada Web sites, and/or are of substantial significance to
Government of Canada programs/services. Suggestion: include audiences targeted
by at least one cluster and two departments.
Recognizable: terms are understandable by implementers/indexers.
Unique: no terms will be a synonym of an existing term.
