Taxonomy
A taxonomy is a hierarchical arrangement of documents and categories. You can have categories with subcategories, where the subcategories contain more specific information than their parent category.
Each parent category and each subcategory contain a set of documents, so that the top category might contain general information, while the subcategory contains more specialized content. Documents can also be in more than one category.
The following example shows a Sport parent category, with subcategories for different sports, and events:
Category | Subcategory | Subcategory | Subcategory |
---|---|---|---|
Sport | Athletics | Track | 100m |
400m | |||
Field | shotput | ||
discus | |||
Swimming | Butterfly | 100m | |
Backstroke | 100m |
If you were using this example scenario, you might have a Web page devoted to sport, which contains a set of general documents about sports. Then you can navigate to the subcategory page for athletics, and it presents a more restricted set of documents.
