Drupal Vocabulary

It is important to note that content can belong to several vocabularies at once. Also, vocabulary relations can be modified dynamically as new content or new vocabularies are added. This saves the trouble to manually update the relationships each time.

The taxonomy module in Drupal allows multiple lists of categories for classification. It offers the possibility of creating thesauri (terms with horizontal relationships) and taxonomies (terms with hierarchical relationships). Basically, the taxonomy deals with a hierarchy of information and the thesaurus deals with relationships between terms. Taxonomy is what affects how exactly the content is organized.

Settings for the taxonomy module can be found in the Drupal admin area > Structure -> Taxonomy.

You can add a new vocabulary using the Add vocabulary button.

The Name field is mandatory and the Description field is optional.

Once you are ready, click on Save.
