Chapter 4.7: Taxonomies
One of the issues relating to taxonomies is that taxonomies can exist in multiple
languages. Fig. 4.7.5 shows that taxonomies can exist in multiple languages.

Commercial or Private Taxonomies?
A related issue is whether to use commercially created taxonomies or to use individually
created taxonomies when doing textual disambiguation. One of the major advantages of a
commercially created taxonomy is that the commercially created taxonomy can be easily
and automatically translated into different languages. One of the features of
commercially created taxonomies is that the taxonomy is normally created and supported
in multiple languages. With a commercially created taxonomy, you can read a document
in one language and create the associated analytic database in a different language.
