Product taxonomy

A product taxonomy is the organised structure defining categories and their relationships. A category is one part; the taxonomy is the overall scheme. Channels can use their own category codes and hierarchical paths alongside a merchant's classification.[1]

Map the two structures explicitly when integrating them. An internal campaign collection may have no direct equivalent in the standard taxonomy. Manage changes centrally so moving a group does not silently create inconsistencies between filters, reports and feed classifications.
