One taxonomy, many content types, each with its own filtered listing URLs.

## Shared, not duplicated

Associate a taxonomy with a content type and you get routes, projections and exact-field filters for free.

The same category can classify both blog posts and customers.

### Takeaways

-   Taxonomies are shared across types
-   URL segment is the taxonomy name
-   Filters are generated from the association

> Model it once, route it everywhere.
