- Taxonomy is a defined hierarchy of categories - a treelike structure of customer- or market-specific terminology that defines how categories relate to one another. It provides a conceptual framework for discussion, analysis, or information retrieval. For example, a car manufacturer may have a taxonomy based on the type of car (convertible, SUV, wagon, etc.). Taxonomies help partition the search environment and experience, based on a pre-defined knowledge of categories. This helps limit the number of "noisy" results returned to the user.
