Implementing taxonomies in Web sites
When you publish taxonomies, you can use them on the Presentation Server to implement dynamic navigation for your Web site and intelligent navigation.
- Dynamic Web site navigation
- Allows you to build the navigation structure of the Web site from the structure of the taxonomy tree.
- Intelligent navigation
- Allows you to display content based on user context so that a user is presented with relevant information pertinent to their information needs according to how they are browsing through the knowledge map. (In a traditional fixed navigation model, the user browses through the Web site according to the navigation structure provided.)
On the Presentation Server, you use Tag Libraries or Server Controls in combination with the Taxonomy API and Query API to implement taxonomies in Web sites:
- JSP Tag Libraries (Java) or Server Controls (.NET) allow you to display a taxonomy and expose properties to control how a taxonomy is displayed.
- The Content Delivery Taxonomy API allows you to retrieve taxonomy trees, get related content based on Keywords or metadata, and filter content.
- The Content Delivery Query API provides you with fine-grained control over retrieving content including taxonomic relationships (related content) and over the filtering and sorting of content.
