Taxonomy refers to the structure of tags within your platform. This structure directly impacts searchability and the classification of all your content. A well-defined taxonomy is crucial—it lays the foundation for an organized and efficient ScorePlay platform.
There are several types of tags to understand:
Athletes: Automatically identified through AI recognition.
Partners: Automatically detected once you add your partners in the External Users section.
Calendar Metadata: Ingested automatically; these tags are managed from this section but require no action from you.
Format Metadata: Automatically associated with the type of asset uploaded (e.g., photo, video).
Manual Tags: You can create and assign custom tags to your collections as needed.
