One of the core features of OFF is the ability to analyse, compare and select products based on a large set of product characteristics.This only possible thanks to a large collection of taxonomies, which encode these product characteristics. The size of these taxonomies is ever more growing and more difficult to maintain. In creating these taxonomies various assumptions are made This page describes some approaches to the clever usage of taxonomies, which uses the idea of combining facets, so that the user still can find and compare products. This approach might allow to reduce the number of entries in some taxonomies.
