Hierarchical Taxonomy
Multi-level classification tree with parent-child relationships for complex categorization
Why do anything?
Complex domains need multi-level categorization. Flat taxonomies can't represent category hierarchies.
Why now?
Enterprise content organization requires structured hierarchies for navigation and filtering.
Why this feature?
Hierarchical taxonomy with parent-child relationships. Supports LLM inference, clustering-based, or hybrid discovery.
How It Works
Hierarchical taxonomy provides multi-level classification with tree navigation.
1
Root Classification
Classify into top-level category
2
Tree Navigation
Recursively classify down the tree
3
Path Assignment
Assign full path from root to leaf
4
Enrichment
Add hierarchy path to document payload
Why This Approach
Tree navigation enables drill-down filtering. Multiple inference strategies support different use cases.
Integration
taxonomy = client.taxonomies.create(type="hierarchical", hierarchy={...})
