 | | For three years, I worked as the Coordinator of the AskAway Public Library virtual reference service for the public libraries of British Columbia and the Yukon. More than 40 public libraries participate. The service is a live, web-chat information service that offers immediate, interactive, and knowledgeable help on-line to anyone who has a question. Note that AskAway was an employer, not a client of Philip Hall Ltd. |  | | I looked after web content for Communities in Transition, a project of the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. that supports values based planning processes that balance social, environmental, economic, and governance concerns to address regional and local land use and conservation issues in non-metropolitan areas of British Columbia. |  | | I provided an advanced content review of the documents and resources in the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver's portion of the national Realtor's site: www.realtorlink.ca. This resulted in a new subject taxonomy with improved findabilty and browsability for their 10,000+ weblibrary. | 
| | in 2005 I developed a subject taxonomy for the Canadian Realestate Association's web portal called RealtorLink. This taxonomy was offered to all participating Real Estate Boards as they migrated to this web portal in 2006. The taxonomy covered the very wide range of subjects that REALTORS encounter during their work including brokerage, land use, education, property law, and more. |  | | I was the Executive Director of the Land Centre for seven years from 1996 - 2003. During that time, with a team of librarians, an application developer, and a land-use researcher, we developed innovative tools to help land use practitioners manage their professional information using the then-new environment of rich web sites. The site was online continuously from 1996 - 2008 but is no longer available. |  | | In 2002 I developed a metadata scheme for the BC Real Estate Council to allow for integrating content from separate documents into a virtual web-document with embedded rules for maintaining the relationships between those documents. This scheme was piloted for real estate practice manuals. |  | | In 2001 we developed the Realtors Online Toolbox, a new resource delivery vehicle developed for Real Estate professionals in B.C. and available to them through a variety of portals. It was developed as part of the Land Centre. |
