Categories

It may be useful to use some categorization schemes:

  • Sections: this vocabulary defines the basic site
    structure, and is part of the global navigation.
    • Each content item must be associated with at least
      one section.
    • Optionally, an item may appear in multiple
      sections,  is sometimes useful.
    • Heirarchical (sections within sections)
    • New terms can only be added by the site
      editor.

  • Tags: this vocabulary allows for free-form
    grouping of content items.
    • Each content item may be associated with zero or
      more
      tags.
    • Tags can't be nested, so this is a flat
      vocabulary.
    • New tags can be created by content authors simply by typing
      them into the tags field.
