Information Technology plays vital role in the field of information management especially in current digital age. Information Technology like classification will assist the organization to systematically and efficiently managing the metadata in the system. The ability of organization to provide a systematic classification system is an essential part of any information management system as it provides a guideline for either the creator of information or the retriever of information. In this study, the goal is to determine what the steps to consider are and the limitations that may arise when creating a taxonomy classification system in information management and what are the benefits of creating a taxonomy system. The study, hopefully, would provide basic insight on what are the essentials of taxonomy in online information management and how usually an organization would develop and implement a taxonomy classification system.
