Taxonomy Design
Taxonomy Design is the process of creating clear categories and labels for information so people can find and use it easily. In Information Science, designers use taxonomy design to organize digital content, like websites or databases, by grouping similar things together and giving them names that make sense to users. A useful fact is that designers often use card sorting, a simple method where people group items into categories, to test if the taxonomy matches real-world thinking. This helps designers make sure the structure fits how people actually look for information, making digital spaces more user-friendly and efficient.
