 * Taxonomy is integral to Drupal technology
 * Each taxonomy category has related terms
 * Terms are used as topics, tags, and keywords.
 * Terms may have subterms, e.g., animal -> cat -> breed -> tabby
 * Terms may be related between categories, e.g., cat -> cat food <- food
 * Content may have multiple terms, e.g., Title: FEMA Extends Assistance in Louisiana; Terms: FEMA, Housing, Food, Louisiana, Grant
