Question: What is the interest in Taxonomy for Umbraco?
I thought this topic of discussion deserved its own thread. Although, it was started here by @LaurenceG.
I've worked with taxonomy data types and classification in past CMSs. It's often a very useful view of data in any information management system (be it eCommerce, general cataloging, or search filtering of content, just to name a few). I've started sketching on this a number of times but have, as usual, not gotten very far with it due to lack of time. Has anyone done any legwork on this sort of thing and/or what is the general interest in the community for such functionality?
Thanks as always for your input. For more info on taxonomy and its use, please see this Wiki.
Many moons ago on v2 I had a play with NClassifier (blogged about it on old blog which is now dead) also Darren Ferguson did something with it as well see blog post I also built a data type that made use of IPSV and dxhtml tree to tag although never used it also dxhtml was paid javascript tree control. The taxonomy stuff really comes into its own with information rich sites especially public sector.
I am currently evaluating Umbraco and as a ASP.NET developer and and content manager I it think looks great. One thing I am particularly interested in is classifying content using faceted classification - as well as using more informal tags. In light of the discussion above, are there any plans to incorporate a full-blown classification tool? I suppose that if you were really organised
you could use the tagging feature but as a site grows over time I imagine a tagging vocabulary may not stay very structured.
Would love to hear people's thoughts, plans and ideas on this?
