Last Tuesday (9th November), I did a presentation to the Drupal London Community about a list of taxonomy modules that every Drupalista should know.
Other presentations included introduction about the taxonomy system, folksonomy management ( a presentation of the Taxonomy NCO module) and taxonomy and views integration.
My presentation was a refreshing exercise: it's always useful to review all the modules about a specific topic from time to time: it keeps you up-to-date and helps you integrating new functionalities to existing websites. The modules I've chosen is nothing new for confirmed Drupalistas but was a good introduction for others. It includes primary term, taxonomy manager, taxonomy image, geo taxonomy and OpenCalais.
I've closed the presentation with an overview of the changes in Drupal 7 taxonomy system and a discussion about the impact of these changes for site architecture.
As fields can be added directly to terms, a lot of modules used in Drupal 6 will be obsolete (Taxonomy Image, may be Geo Taxonomy?) and opens up new possibilities: complex taxonomy terms with images, text information etc can now be created and don't need to be stored as content type with a link to a term.
More details to come but the file is in attachment to this blog post.
