Signal Taxonomy Skill

When to Use

• Normalizing multiple provider outputs into a unified schema.

• Rolling out new intent topics, enrichment attributes, or scoring dimensions.

• Auditing lineage + compliance requirements.

Framework

• Schema Definition – fields, datatypes, required/optional flags.

• Topic & Attribute Mapping – align provider-specific attributes to canonical names.

• Versioning – maintain change logs, effective dates, and migration steps.

• Validation Rules – min/max values, allowed lists, dependency rules.

• Documentation – publish data dictionary + lineage diagrams.

Templates

• Data dictionary sheet (field, description, source, owner).

• Topic mapping table by provider.

• Migration checklist for schema changes.

Tips

• Keep names human-readable for GTM teams but consistent with data warehouse standards.

• Tag every field with owner + refresh cadence.

• Pair with identity-resolution to ensure IDs and linkages stay consistent.
