Taxonomies in general

You can model taxonomies in Xperience using one of the following ways

• Controlled Vocabulary – A controlled vocabulary is the simplest taxonomy type. Editor teams define specific words or terms that represent topics shared across different content pieces and agree to use only these terms to describe categories of topics within their digital content.
• Hierarchical taxonomy – This taxonomy type enables you to establish hierarchies between tags and show their relationships. Hierarchical taxonomies help your team structure complex content, allowing you to create logical parent-child relationships between topics. This enhances content organization and user navigation, especially in large content sets.

In Xperience, you can build controlled vocabularies and hierarchical taxonomies, which offers your team greater flexibility when organizing your digital content.

Other taxonomy types

Xperience doesn’t support advanced taxonomies such as semantic networks or ontologies. These more sophisticated taxonomies often require specialized systems that can model relationships and provide an easy-to-navigate way through the classification schemes.
