Taxonomy is the practice and science of organization and classification by supertype-subtype relationships. Taxonomy may be also applied to relationship schemes other than hierarchies, such as network structures. Other taxonomies may include single children with multi-parents.

Almost anything – data, information, news, documents, images, economic activity, products, companies and industries, places, concepts, events, properties - may be classified according to some taxonomic scheme.

Link management is a necessity especially with large, complex data sets. Topic maps, taxonomies help categorize and classify key concepts and tie them all together.
