Thanks for that Guillaume,
Does Xwiki support fixed categories or metadata that can be assigned
to
pages?
I suppose I was looking at more along the lines of classifing
content as
it's created by assigning pages with categories/tags within a fixed
taxonomy
that the user can't change or add to.
This content does not necessary have to live in a fixed structure,
just
classified. i.e. a department may manage their own space and how it's
arranged, create and delete pages as required, but the content needs
to be
classified against our taxonomy.
XWiki is completely flexible and you can add as many metadata you want
to a wiki page. We call them Objects. You can even define your own
Object types to define your own taxonomy.
We also have a lightweight taxonomy with Tags (which are a predefined
Object type).

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users G'day one and all,
I'm looking at using xwiki for our intranet and was wondering how
existing taxonomies can be implemented/imported into xwiki
XWiki offers parent-child relationships between pages and it
has "spaces", which mean you can group pages together. A
typical XWiki taxonomy would look like this:
- Main homepage (Main.WebHome)
- Space A homepage (SpaceA.WebHome)
- child page 1
- child page 2
- child 1 of child page 2
- child 1 of child 1 of child page 2
- Space B homepage (SpaceB.WebHome)
- child page 1
As for importing them into XWiki, I guess it depends on how
your taxonomies are currently represented. If they are stored
in XML documents, you might want to try creating XWiki
documents out of them and use the <parent> field to represent
the taxonomy.
Guillaume
