Taxonomy terms
A taxonomy term is an element of a controlled vocabulary. It belongs to a single taxonomy.
Like a taxonomy, it has a unique (among other taxonomy terms of the same taxonomy) identifier, called Code.
It can have a parent taxonomy term. The parent term must belong to the same taxonomy. This means that a taxonomy contains a hierarchy of terms.
A taxonomy term 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.
