Taxonomy Manager

Sanity Taxonomy Manager

Create and manage SKOS compliant taxonomies, thesauri, and classification schemes in Sanity Studio.

Documentation

For full documentation, visit sanitytaxonomymanager.com.

Features

• Adds two document types to your Sanity schema which are used to generate SKOS compliant concepts and taxonomies: skosConcept and skosConceptScheme
• Includes reference filter helpers to allow you to easily include a specific taxonomy, or particular branch of a taxonomy in your Sanity documents
• Encourages taxonomy and thesaurus design best practices by enforcing disjunction between Broader and Related relationships and disjunction between Preferred and Alternate/Hidden labels
• Standards compliant architecture means that taxonomy terms and structures can be migrated to standards compliant standalone tools when you need higher level taxonomy and knowledge graph support.

Installation

In your Sanity project folder, run

npm i sanity-plugin-taxonomy-manager

or

yarn add sanity-plugin-taxonomy-manager

Configuration

Add the plugin to your project configuration to add the Taxonomy Manager Tool to your studio workspace.

// sanity.config.js

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {structureTool} from 'sanity/structure'
import {taxonomyManager} from 'sanity-plugin-taxonomy-manager'
import {schemaTypes} from './schemas'

export default defineConfig({
  name: 'default',
  title: 'Sanity Studio',
  projectId: '<projectId>',
  dataset: 'production',
  plugins: [
    structureTool(),
    // Include the taxonomy manager plugin
    taxonomyManager({
      // Optional: Set a Base URI to use for new concepts & concept schemes
      baseUri: 'https://example.com/',
      // Optional: Use `customConceptFields` and `customSchemeFields` keys to add custom fields to Concept or Concept Scheme document types
      customConceptFields: [
        {
          name: 'sameAs',
          title: 'Same As',
          type: 'url',
          description:
            'Specify a fully qualified IRI that identifies the same concept in another vocabulary',
        },
      ],
    }),
  ],
  schema: {
    types: schemaTypes,
  },
})

The plugin adds skosConcept and skosConceptScheme document types to your studio. Use a filter on documentTypeListItems in the desk tool configuration to exclude taxonomy manager document types from your main document view.

// sanity.config.js

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {structureTool} from 'sanity/structure'
import {taxonomyManager} from 'sanity-plugin-taxonomy-manager'
import {schemaTypes} from './schemas'

export default defineConfig({
  name: 'default',
  title: 'Sanity Studio',
  projectId: '<projectId>',
  dataset: 'production',
  plugins: [
    structureTool({
      structure: (S) =>
        S.list()
          .title('Content')
          .items([
            ...S.documentTypeListItems().filter(
              (listItem) => !['skosConcept', 'skosConceptScheme'].includes(listItem.getId())
            ),
          ]),
    }),
    taxonomyManager(),
  ],
  schema: {
    types: schemaTypes,
  },
})

Component Diagrams

The following diagrams map out the relationships between the components used in this plugin and are intended to help those interested in contributing to the project orient themselves. The Taxonomy Manager tree view is designed to support polyhierarchy, and to provide UI affordances common to other taxonomy management tools, both of which lend some complexity to the component structure.

[!TIP] You do not need to understand any of this to use the plugin!

The Tree View component creates the user interface for interacting with a given taxonomy (SKOS Concept Scheme) visually in the Sanity Structure tool.
