Controlled Vocabularies #7

I’m not sure if we’ll be producing much value if we don’t have a controlled vocabulary for a number of items. In particular, I’m looking at availableChannel, produces, serviceAudience, and serviceType. If everything on here is plaintext descriptions, it will be very difficult to be scraped and analyzed unless search engines are going to do be doing natural language processing on the results (which seems like an unnecessary step). This may be something to table and put off to later, but it should be on the radar.

serviceAudience : human services audience http://openeligibility.org/situations/ serviceType: human services http://openeligibility.org availableChannel - serviceChannel : http://sdo-civicservices.appspot.com/ServiceChannel produces - is not a text value, it's service or a thing. i would connect "sameAs" to something on wikipedia.
