Abstract
The article analyzes the implementation of taxonomies in cultural heritage repositories. The research methodology includes discourse hermeneutics and case analysis. The results section explores the need for taxonomies, their description, and their advantages in repositories. Three key functions are highlighted: 1) enabling the naming and categorization of cultural heritage across peoples, regions, and countries; 2) serving as indexing languages that thematically represent resources; and 3) providing a hierarchical structure for browsing and discovering collections. It is concluded that the construction of vocabularies and the conformation of categorical structures is a continuous and challenging activity in which information professionals should have a proactive attitude and skills in order not to be mere consumers of knowledge organization systems, but developers.
