Taxonomies
A taxonomy is a group of taxonomy terms. It’s a way to build a controlled vocabulary in Omeka S.
A taxonomy is also an Omeka S resource (like items, item sets and media), which means:
it can be linked to items, item sets and media like any other Omeka S resource (it can be linked in annotations too);
it can be described like any other resource (resource template, class, properties, annotations);
it can have a thumbnail.
A taxonomy has a unique (among other taxonomies) identifier, called Code.
The Taxonomies tab
Taxonomies are listed in the Taxonomies tab (with the tags icon) in the left-hand navigation of the administrative dashboard.
This page is very similar to The Items tab. Please refer to this documentation for general information.
There are a few differences:
There is an additional column showing the taxonomy’s Code.
Taxonomies can be sorted by Code.
There is an additional icon to list taxonomy terms (tag).
