Orchard Taxonomies

The Orchard Taxonomies module adds a way to manage taxonomies, and assign them to specific content types, thus allowing content classification and filtering.

What is a Taxonomy

A taxonomy is a hierarchical set of terms used to classify content. Taxonomies differ from tags as they are controlled, whereas tags can be freely defined.

What is it useful for ?

Taxonomies can be used to streamline content editing by providing a set of predefined values to content authors. It is also useful to drive the front page display by filtering the elements to display on each page, based on their categories.
