A glossary is a powerful tool to collect and define terms and definitions and make this knowledge available for a course or learning community. The ILIAS glossary does not only allow to add text but also images, videos or audio files. And it supports several definitions for one term. The bigger a glossary gets, the higher is it's value for learners. But even if there are several options to explore a glossary like a search or alphabetical navigation, users get sometimes overwhelmed of the number of glossary entries and prefer to have a kind of structure in this list of terms. With 4.3 this problem has been solved with the introduction of taxonomies in glossaries.
