This document discusses organizing information visually with a hierarchy. It emphasizes starting from the core concept and building outward. Examples are given to demonstrate concepts over abstract explanations. Readers are encouraged to turn their taxonomy and labels into a sitemap or flow to clearly explain how information is connected and can be navigated.
