Managing Taxonomy
Introduction
What is Taxonomy and how does it work? It's a way to classify content similar to tagging or categorizing. Taxonomy makes it possible for content to appear in lists filtered by topic.
A site’s taxonomy consists of several vocabularies (such as “Color”). Each of these vocabularies contains several terms (such as “Red,” “Yellow,” “Blue,” etc.). Your platform contains a few useful vocabularies that are applied to various content types.
Types of Taxonomy
There are different types of Taxonomy that can help you categorize your content better:

Content type-specific | Not content type-specific |
