The document discusses plans for a Drupal taxonomy code sprint to improve how Drupal handles hierarchical taxonomies, large vocabularies, and term reconciliation. It notes challenges with multiple taxonomies, permissions, search integration, and semantic web applications. Participants will submit code patches to Drupal and participate in a Google Code project. Back-porting solutions to D5 is discussed. Examples like the Encyclopedia of Life and biology sites using workarounds are provided, with EOL's taxon-centric approach and LifeDesk profiles outlined. Taxonomy management is highlighted as important for projects like EOL and term reconciliation.
