This function allows you to print the Acknowledgments section; structure, save and download versions of the Taxonomy that you have customized to meet your unique needs; and download U.S. and Canadian versions of all Taxonomy displays (outline, hierarchy, alphabetical display and thesaurus display), a related concepts display and an external systems crosswalk display that are created automatically by the system each time the Web site is updated. Select the display you wish to print and the system will generate a file which you can download to your local computer for off-line printing. To print a customized display, click on "Full Taxonomy", "Filtered", "Filter Outline Report", or "Related Concept" under Custom Reports and use the check boxes to structure the report you want. All documents are in PDF format. Print options include:

Acknowledgments: a cumulative document which lists the source material for Taxonomy definitions and structure.

Custom Reports:

• Full Taxonomy: This option features the entire Taxonomy and allows you to choose the locale (U.S. English or Canadian English), specify the format (organized by code or term name), select the fields to include (definition, use references, see also references, related concepts, external system terms, comments and bibliographic references) and specify the levels you wish to include.


• Filtered: This option allows you to choose a customized version of the Taxonomy created and saved using the Manage Filters function to determine which terms will be included in your custom report. You can then choose the locale (U.S. English or Canadian English), specify the format (organized by code or term name), select the fields to include (definition, use references, see also references, related concepts, external system terms, comments and bibliographic references) and specify the levels you wish to include as in the Full Taxonomy Report.


• Filter Outline Report: This option allows you to identify a locale (U.S. English or Canadian English), specify one of the available filters and request one of two types of outline reports: the regular Outline and the Highlighted Starter Set, a report that grays out higher level terms on a branch and shows in bold type the lowest level terms on each branch that can be used for indexing purposes. The outline reports provides an "at-a-glance" view of the hierarchical structure and contents of the selected filter.


• Related Concept: This option allows you to choose one of the related concepts to determine which terms will be included in your custom report. You can then choose the locale (U.S. English or Canadian English), specify the format (organized by code or term name), select the fields to include (definition, use references, see also references, related concepts, external system terms, comments and bibliographic references) and specify the levels you wish to include as in the above two reports.

You can only develop one custom report at a time. If you want to do several, you must delete each previous report before beginning a new one.

Options Created Automatically by the System (all available in U.S. and Canadian English versions):

• Outline: The Outline is organized by code and includes all Taxonomy terms and codes. Its intent is to provide an "at-a-glance" view of the hierarchical structure and contents of the Taxonomy.


• Hierarchy (Standard): The standard version of the Hierarchy presents the Taxonomy in hierarchical format organized by Taxonomy code and includes codes, terms, definitions and "see also" references. It mirrors the hierarchical display in the printed Taxonomy books which were published and sold before the Taxonomy Web site went live.


• Hierarchy (Complete): The complete version of the Hierarchy adds "use" references (synonyms), related concepts, external systems terms and codes, comments and bibliographic references to the display items offered by the Hierarchy (Standard) option.


• Alphabetical Display (Standard): The standard version of the Alphabetical Display sorts Taxonomy terms into alphabetical order. Definitions and "see also" references are also displayed. Preferred wording has been established for every Taxonomy term. There is only one "right" term for a concept. While we have tried to select the most common wording as the preferred wording for terms, there are many cases in which there is no consensus. So this display adds another feature: "use" references. "Use" references are synonyms for the preferred terms in the hierarchy and allow you to access terms using the wording that is familiar to you. Example: "Food Addiction Support Groups" is a "use" reference for "Weight Related Support Groups". Use references have reciprocal "used for" references which are listed with the preferred wording for a term. You can get a complete list of synonyms for any term by looking at the "used for" references. This document mirrors the alphabetical display in the printed Taxonomy book.


• Alphabetical Display (Complete): The complete version of the Alphabetical Display adds related concepts, external system codes, comments and bibliographic references to the display items offered by the Alphabetical Display (Standard) option.


• Thesaurus Display: The Thesaurus display presents the Taxonomy in thesaurus format. Terms and use references are arranged alphabetically as in the standard alphabetical display above. Other elements include Scope Notes (SN) which are the equivalent of definitions, Broader Terms (BT) which is the term directly above a term in the hierarchy (the parent), Narrower Terms (NT) which are the terms directly below a term in the hierarchy (the children) and Related Terms (RT) which are the equivalent of "see also" references.


• Related Concepts: This display comprises a list of related concepts titles and associated Taxonomy terms and codes. Related concepts are target groups, issues or other concepts such as "Caregivers", "Homelessness", "Long Term Care" and "Pregnancy" that are connected with Taxonomy terms that represent services that are typically associated with these groups. The related concepts provide an additional lens through which users can view the Taxonomy.


• External Systems Crosswalks: The Taxonomy is crosswalked to three external classification systems: the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE), the Nonprofit Program Classification System (NPC) and the United Way of America Services Identification System (UWASIS). These documents are organized by external system, within external system and hierarchically by external system code or alphabetically by external system term. Associated Taxonomy terms and codes are listed with each external system term.
