Flat Taxonomies
What is a Flat Taxonomy
Flat Taxonomy is classification in which the Taxa have equal weight. A Taxon cannot have child Taxons.
Sitefinity provides API for working with Flat Taxonomies. The following namespaces should be used when working with Taxonomies via code:
//Taxonomies namespaces
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies.Model;

The Tags functionality fits in the specification of Flat Taxonomy, therefore The Tags System is implemented on top of Taxonomies:

Tags are equal members of a single structure, just like the items in a Flat Taxonomy.
