Lists of words that represent concepts and entities in a domain

A taxonomy is a collection of terms (words), each of which represents some part of a domain or enterprise.  Taxonomies are commonly used to label documents in a given domain.

Individual terms in a taxonomy are often grouped into categories that represent a particular aspect or facet of the domain.  This categorization helps keep taxonomy terms organized in a meaningful way.

Example of a simple taxonomy:
