TFS – Post Table Validation and Queries
Last updated on December 19th, 2025 at 11:46 am
This post is useful for debugging and validating the site topology implemented through Categories and Tags. We classify the major concepts as categories, for example Admin, Courses, Communities, Reference, App. The items that cross concepts are implemented as tags. This shows the current setup, intersections will be filled in soon.
Our experience so far is that every cohort is unique and to create a spark we need to be able to inspire them where they are and what they are interested in. Our current thinking is the the best approach is to create a modular set of topics that can be quickly assembled to create sparks and address each cohorts needs and interests. That said, as we begin to implement our topology, this post should help begin to document the site operation for validation and debugging purposes. Never seen an architecture that didn’t need to consider flexibility at the start; small investment now, large return if needed later.
