Using Taxonomies to Organize Knowledge
Simple and short definition: “how to organize knowledge/information”
A more formal definition is: Taxonomy is the science of classification according to a pre-determined system; the resulting catalogue used to provide a conceptual framework for discussion, analysis, or information retrieval (from the Marie Louise dissertation).
