Understanding Taxonomies

Mukurtu CMS includes several taxonomies (sometimes called vocabularies) in its metadata schema. Each taxonomy includes a list of terms used for categorizing content. For example:

• The taxonomy category could include the terms arts, politics and sovereignty, and migration.
• The taxonomy language could include the terms English, Español, and Snchitsu'umshtsn.

Mukurtu uses taxonomies to enable reuse of a term within a field (eg: selecting a creator's name from an existing list, instead of entering their name each time), as filterable facets in search pages, and in search indices.

Most taxonomic fields allow the addition of new terms while creating content.

Mukurtu includes the following taxonomies:
