I. Taxonomy involves classifying contents using hierarchical vocabularies of terms to describe and organize them. This allows contents to be associated with multiple classifications beyond just the website structure.
II. The navigation vocabulary represents the website structure and defines where content is displayed. Other vocabularies are used for searching, filtering, and secondary navigation.
III. Vocabularies can be associated with workspaces to define which contributors can use them, and which are allowed depends on the content and media types.
3. CONCEPTS & TERMINOLOGY
To classify contents or medias, the most intuitive way would be to use the web site structure
It is the most traditional, the most used and the most simple way because it looks like a physical storage: a content is stored in a page, just like a file would be stored in a directory.

4. CONCEPTS & TERMINOLOGY
This approach is limited, since it imposes a single vision of content organisation, directly linked to information broadcast.
What to do when you want to display an article in different sections or even websites?
Other classification logics may also be pertinent: thematic channels, business, geography, …etc.

8. SUMMARY

The navigation taxonomy is a specific vocabulary, based on the website(s) sitemap. It is used to define where a content is displayed
Taxonomy is used to search for contents/medias, and as a secondary navigation
Vocabularies can be associated to workspaces, to define which contributors may used them
Allowed vocabularies are defined by content type and media type
