What is Taxonomy Management in PIM?

Taxonomy management in PIM involves organising products into well-structured categories and attribute hierarchies to ensure consistency, accuracy, and easy discoverability. It helps businesses maintain a logical product classification system that improves searchability, customer experience, and cross-channel content alignment.

Taxonomy governance controls category changes and their impact on product records. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take a request to split an existing lighting category, review new branches and reassess affected product classifications, and release the approved structure with updated attribute requirements.
