Taxonomies

 ØA taxonomy is used to classify metadata and is useful when you are organizing assets for use with filters, or you need to add security. For example, you could use taxonomies to organize assets by brand name so that when users search for an asset, they can filter the search by brand name.

ØThe difference between option lists and taxonomies is that a taxonomy can have many hierarchical values (for example, a tree structure) and it controls security. Use a taxonomy instead of an option list when: 

lThe selected value controls the security on the entity (option lists cannot control security).

lThe list of possible values is very long (taxonomies are searchable and paged).

lThe item needs more properties than just a name (for example, it also requires a description and an image).
