Add a biological classification

Introduction
Before adding data other than static pages to a Scratchpad, we need to add the taxonomic names. This is done via the taxonomy module. The taxonomy module contains controlled vocabularies. A vocabulary is a list of terms. These do not have to be biological classifications. Country lists, keywords etc. can all be treated as "taxonomies" in the context of your site. Taxonomies are the backbone of a Scratchpad and link together the content. They are used to generate taxon pages. Before you add a set of taxonomic names to your Scratchpad you need to add the vocabulary for it.

Instructions

 * 1) Click on Structure in the Admin menu and click on Taxonomy near the bottom

 * 1) Click Save

Having created a vocabulary you now need to add the list of terms (names). This can be done by either importing a classification through the external Encyclopedia of Life service (see Import a classification from EOL) or by creating and importing your own classification (see Import your own classification). Alternatively you can add terms one by one by clicking on Add terms when you are on the Taxonomy admin page or by using the taxonomic editor (Edit terms) (see Edit a biological classification).
