What is a taxonomy?

Taxonomy is an organized classification system that allows information to be structured and categorized in a logical and hierarchical manner.

In the context of product data, a taxonomy defines categories, subcategories, and attributes for classifying products according to specific criteria (family, use, technical characteristics, etc.). It facilitates the search, analysis, and management of information, both for internal teams and for consumers.

Integrated into a PIM (Product Information Management) system, taxonomy optimizes data consistency, improves the user experience on e-commerce sites and marketplaces, and enhances the relevance of search results. It is essential for ensuring effective product catalog management and seamless distribution across all sales channels.
