Taxonomy is the structured, hierarchical language (the vocabulary) you use to organize your assets. It replaces disorganized, flat folders with a logical, consistent system that mirrors your business.
Think about a wine bottle. If metadata is the label, Taxonomy is the shelf structure, aisles, and sections of the library where the wine bottle is stored.
A user searches for “Product Photo, Campaign: Spring 2025, Model: Jane Smith.”
The Taxonomy guides the search to the “Product Photo” category.
