  • Taxonomy module in Drupal 7:
    • Fieldable taxonomy terms.
    • Taxonomy vocabularies as fields.
    • Wait, what does all that even mean?
    • User experience and taxonomy.
  • The world of Taxonomy Contrib:
    • Taxonomy in the age of CCK and Views.
    • Taxonomy-enhancing essential modules.
    • Cool uses of taxonomy: recommendation engines, auto tagging, community managing of content, connecting everything.
    • Classification of contributed taxonomy modules (an idea...i browsed the list of d6 contributed modules and found some common themes - chach)
      • managing taxonomies (taxonomy manager, edit term, tag collapse (superterms), batch editing)
      • taxonomies and browsing content (breadcrumbs, breadcrumbs in nodes, working with menu system (or replacing it entirely))
      • 'internal' taxonomies (hiding taxonomies for certain users - permissions & hidden vocabularies)
      • displaying taxonomies (in blocks, tag clouds, related terms)
      • autocategorization (open calais, default terms)
      • mirroring drupal-specific content as taxonomy (ex. vocabulary presets for content types, creating terms per users)
      • faceted search (i only saw 1 module...?)
      • improving taxonomy user interface (active tags, various forms of tag selection)
      • weighting & structuring terms (hierarchies, community tags)
      • importing tags (xml, cvs, rss)
      • integration with fields (term fields)

Questions

Should we talk about this issue?
* What is the best way to integrate CCK content types & taxonomy?
When using Views, CCK and Taxonomy, you have the opportunity to sort and view content by content type. I saw this mentioned on the 'taxonomies drupal daily 7/22/09' as well. That author says "In general, we're going to try to keep our "content types" to a minimum and employ taxonomies plus the Views Module to present content and create rich RSS feeds, etc."

From my experience, using taxonomies to classify content provides better content sorting features - though usually I just want a vocabulary that is very similar to the content types. A trick I have tried has been to make a default taxonomy term for all content types...but it is a little bit difficult to maintain - being an extra level of complication for a site.

Any ideas? (i'll look to see if there is an existing discussion about this...maybe we should make some discussion threads and link them back to this wiki?)
