The new property offers a streamlined and logical structure with consolidated primary and alternate names and a hierarchy that makes clear the parent/child relationship between categories. + +In October, we introduced the `basic_category` property. That property corresponds 1:1 to the primary place name in the new `taxonomy` property. (It also maps to the primary name in the original `categories` property.) The hierarchical paths in `taxonomy` support deeper and more logical structures. For example, in the restaurant branch, you can see a clear progression from very broad to very specific category names: `restaurant > asian_restaurant > east_asian_restaurant > chinese_restaurant > cantonese_restaurant`. This kind of structure makes it easier to aggregate and display POIs in meaningful ways. + +The original `categories` property, with more than 2100 category names, will remain in the schema for the next several months so that users can compare the old system to the new taxonomy. + +Examples: + +1.
