​Taxonomy is defined by your tag structure within your platform. This will determine the ease and speed of searchability and how all of your content is classified. It is therefore of the utmost importance - a solid foundation for a healthy ScorePlay platform.
​
The first thing you need to understand is that there are different types of tags on the platform:

  • Athletes: these tags are identified automatically through AI recognition.

  • Partners: these tags are also automatically detected once you input your partners in the External Users section.

  • Calendar metadata: automatically ingested, you don't need to worry about these, but can still manage them from this section.

  • Format metadata: automatically done, these are associated to the type of assets uploaded: photo, video etc.

  • All other tags can be manually created and associated to your different collections.

1. Click "Taxonomy"

Click on the Taxonomy page under Setup.

Click 'Taxonomy'

2. Taxonomy Page

This page shows you all of your existing "Tag Groups" on the platform. Tag groups allow you to regroup certain tags that have a relationship, such here with "Categories".

You can toggle tag groups to be visible on the Homepage, Search bar, Upload page, Collection Creation page, Video logs, and as Thumbnails on media.
