[Tagging] Discovery + ADR: System Defined Taxonomies

[ChrisChV]

Description

Coordinate with Axim to figure out which system defined taxonomies should be implemented in Open edX (they will be the ones defining these closed taxonomies).

System-defined taxonomies are hardcoded and are for the most part automatically filled by the platform (content type, organization, etc, with the exception of the language tag).

Define an approach to define and display system taxonomies. This document must be aligned with the architecture proposed for taxonomies.

Suggestion: investigate if it’s possible to use the new hooks and filters functionality to implement a pipeline (triggered by a method like get_taxonomy_for_context) to retrieve a taxonomy given a certain context. Consider that some taxonomies can be large with hundreds of fields when implementing this.

Reference documents:

• Taxonomy Field Types: See the system defined field type.
• Taxonomy Analysis: lists a few taxonomies and their structures.
• Taxonomy Data Architecture
