Categorizing Content - Taxonomy

This feature is optional - for in-depth documentation please visit "Organizing Your Site" at OpenScholar.

Taxonomy is the practice of classifying content. Taxonomy can be used in workflow, to customize defined sections of your website to display specific content based on taxonomy terms.

Taxonomy gives your sites use of the organizational keywords known in other systems as categories or tags. It allows you to connect, relate and classify your website’s content. In OpenScholar, these terms are gathered within “vocabularies.” The Taxonomy module allows you to create, manage and apply those vocabularies. It also allows you to show specific kinds of within pages or widgets on your site.

Taxonomy - The system for categorizing your web site’s content
