Systems and methods for automating the construction and organization of a taxonomy

Abstract

Various examples are provided related to taxonomy construction and organization. In one example, a system includes a computing device and machine readable instructions that, when executed, cause the computing device to at least: receive an input that identifies a term and a definition of the term; generate a globally unique identifier (GUID) that uniquely identifies the input; store the input and the GUID in a data store; and assign the input and the GUID to a taxonomy tree, wherein the input and the GUID are assigned to a node within a hierarchy of the taxonomy tree. In another example, a method includes receiving, by a computing device, an input identifying a term and a definition of the term; generating a GUID that uniquely identifies the input; and assigning the input and the GUID to a node within a hierarchy of a taxonomy tree.
