Taxonomy
Taxonomy is the process and science of categorizing things or concepts, as well as the principles that underpin such categorization.
What is Taxonomy?
Taxonomy is a way of organizing and classifying things based on their similarities and differences. In the digital and information technology space, taxonomy can help to create a logical structure for information systems, websites, databases, software applications and other digital products.For example, a website can have a taxonomy that defines its main categories, subcategories and topics. A database can have a taxonomy that specifies its tables, fields and relationships. A software application can have a taxonomy that outlines its features, functions and modules.
Taxonomy can make it easier to find, access and manage information.
