Long a selling point for Drupal, robust categorization and tagging of content is receiving a long overdue overhaul in Drupal 7. Meanwhile, contributed modules continue to be added and improved that leverage taxonomy for displaying, searching, filtering, sorting, and recommending content– and for connecting your site to other sites and classification methods.

Ironically, the plethora of contributed taxonomy modules are as poorly organized and hard to keep track of as any set of Drupal projects. We'll help you make sense of it all.

Launch event for a new suite of modules performing automated clustering of free-tagging taxonomy terms in a Drupal vocabulary.

The School of Everything Taxonomy Suite allows users to express interests and teaching subjects in a large free-tagging vocabulary, and offers new ways of finding matches between subjects. Configurable Normalised Co-occurrence Analysis of taxonomy is used to find related subjects, and thus get round the problem of ever diverging and fragmenting folksonomies.
