+ <h1>Taxonomy of Categories</h1>
+
+ Facets are defined using a hierarchy of categories, known as a
+ <i>Taxonomy</i>
+
+ <br>
+ For example, in a book store application, a Taxonomy could have the
+ following hierarchy:
+ <p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Author</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Mark Twain</li>
+ <li>J. K. Rowling</li>
+ </ul>
+ </ul>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Date</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>2010</li>
+ <li>2009</li>
+ </ul>
+ </ul>
+
+ The <i>Taxonomy</i> translates category-paths into category-ordinal and vice versa.
