Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on July 8, 2009 - 22:01
Your session in a few words: 
Drupal 7 brings a complete rebuild of taxonomy that could mean tagging taxonomy terms with other taxonomy terms, and the contrib modules are equally crazy and far more numerous.

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.

Speakers:

Agenda includes:

  • Taxonomy module in Drupal 7:
    • Fieldable taxonomy terms.
