Terminology, Category Hierarchy, and First-Use Orientation
This page covers the language the Canksiwell platform uses to describe its operations, explains how the category structure is arranged, and provides orientation for users who are preparing to use the interface for the first time.
Key Terms Used Throughout the Platform
The Canksiwell interface uses a consistent set of terms. Understanding what each term refers to will make navigating the system more straightforward.
Category
A defined grouping within the Canksiwell classification hierarchy. Each category has a name, a description, and a set of parameters that determine which items are assigned to it. Categories may contain sub-categories, which follow the same structure at a more specific level.
Entry
An individual piece of information that has been received, prepared, and classified by the system. Each entry belongs to exactly one category and carries contextual information that links it to related entries and adjacent categories within the hierarchy.
Classification
The process by which the system assigns an entry to a category. Classification is carried out by the platform's AI-assisted logic and is applied consistently to all incoming information. The result of classification is an entry's placement in the hierarchy and its contextual links to other entries.
Review Interface
The part of the Canksiwell platform that users interact with directly. The review interface presents the category hierarchy and its entries in an organised layout, allowing users to navigate, examine, and move through the structured information the system has prepared for them.
Contextual Link
A connection between entries or between an entry and a related category, established during classification. Contextual links allow users to move through related information without losing their place in the hierarchy. They reflect organisational relationships, not editorial priorities.
Access Scope
The area or areas of the review interface that an approved user is authorised to navigate. Access scope is determined during the access request review and may cover the full hierarchy or a defined subset of categories, depending on the user's stated purpose and the assessment made by the platform team.
How the Information Hierarchy Is Arranged
The Canksiwell category hierarchy has a predictable structure. Understanding its arrangement makes it easier to navigate efficiently during a review session.
Primary Categories: The Top Level
The highest level of the hierarchy consists of primary categories. These represent the broadest groupings within the system — the largest organisational units that all entries eventually belong to. Primary categories are always visible in the main navigation area of the review interface.
Sub-Categories: Narrowing the Scope
Within each primary category, sub-categories divide the content into more specific groupings. Sub-categories follow the same classification logic as their parent categories but apply it with greater specificity. Not every primary category contains sub-categories; some hold entries directly.
Entries: The Content Level
Entries sit at the bottom of the hierarchy. Each entry is a classified piece of information with its own display record in the review interface. Entries carry a summary, their classification details, the date they were added to the system, and links to contextually related entries within the same or adjacent categories.
Cross-Category Contextual Links
In addition to the vertical parent-child structure, the system establishes horizontal links between entries in different categories where a relevant relationship exists. These cross-category links allow users to follow conceptual threads across the hierarchy without needing to navigate back to the top and descend again into a different branch.
Orientation for New Users
Users who have recently been granted access to the Canksiwell review interface are encouraged to spend their initial session exploring the category hierarchy before attempting a detailed review of any particular area. Familiarity with the top-level structure will make subsequent sessions considerably more efficient.
The category names in the interface are descriptive and are intended to be self-explanatory. Each category's description, visible within the interface, provides the parameters used to classify entries into it. Reading these descriptions before diving into entries will give you a clearer sense of why particular items appear where they do.
New users sometimes find the breadth of the hierarchy unexpected. If your access scope covers a wide range of categories, it can be helpful to work through them systematically rather than following contextual links at random. The interface supports this approach by maintaining your position in the hierarchy as you navigate — you will not lose your place by opening an entry or following a contextual link.
If you encounter a category or entry that appears to be misclassified, note its details and raise a classification concern through the standard enquiry channel. The platform team reviews these reports and updates the system where appropriate.
Support During Your First Sessions
