Content is organized by a full, hiearchical taxonomy system. One taxonomy term can be applied to many nodes and one node can belong to many taxonomy terms. Taxonomy terms can form a tree (or an even complex structure where a term can have multiple parents) and several such trees can exist, we call them vocabularies. Every term provides an RSS feed of the nodes belonging to it.
