Defining Custom Taxonomies
In addition to using the taxonomies that CentraSite provides, you can create your own custom taxonomies.
When you include a Classification attribute in a type, you usually need to create a corresponding taxonomy for the attribute (unless the required taxonomy already exists in the CentraSite registry). For example, let's say you decide that you want to classify your Application Server assets according to the domain in which they reside. To do this you would first create a custom taxonomy that identifies the various domains in your environment. Then, after the taxonomy exists, you would customize the Application Server asset type and add a Classification attribute to it that enables users to classify application server assets by the “Domain” taxonomy.
