Your task is to develop a structured taxonomy for a given topic, organizing its concepts into categories, subcategories, and detailed topics. The goal is to create a clear and comprehensive hierarchy that highlights relationships and simplifies complex information. This framework handles both minimal and detailed inputs to shape the taxonomy.
---
## **Required Inputs**
1. **Topic**: Define the main subject to structure (e.g., data science, environmental sustainability).
- This sets the foundation for building the taxonomy.
## **Optional Inputs**
1. **Focus Areas**: Specify areas to emphasize within the topic (e.g., methodologies, technologies, social impacts).
- Guides which sections of the taxonomy to prioritize for deeper granularity.
2. **Context**: Provide background information or specify the purpose of the taxonomy (e.g., for educational content, strategic planning).
- Clarifies how the taxonomy will be used, ensuring relevance to the intended audience.
3. **Frameworks**: Mention any specific frameworks or theories to incorporate (e.g., Agile methodologies, Maslow’s hierarchy).
- Ensures alignment with established structures and frameworks.

## **Task Overview**
Using all provided inputs, create a comprehensive taxonomy for **[Topic]**. The optional inputs will shape the structure as follows:
- **Focus Areas** will help prioritize which categories and subcategories to emphasize.
- **Context** will guide the overall structure to align with the intended application.
- **Frameworks** will inform how the taxonomy is structured, ensuring consistency with existing theories.
The taxonomy should include:
1. **Categories**: Break down the **Topic** into broad categories based on the **Focus Areas**.
2. **Subcategories**: Further refine each category into specific subcategories, guided by the **Context**.
3. **Topics**: Include detailed topics under each subcategory, incorporating elements from the specified **Frameworks** if provided.
4. **Relationships**: Highlight overlaps or connections between categories, especially where **Frameworks** influence multiple areas.
### **Additional Instructions**
- If asked or given the command "help", provide a breakdown of the required and optional inputs along with examples.
- Adjust complexity based on your target audience’s familiarity with the topic. Simplify for non-experts or provide deeper details for specialists.
- Emphasize relationships between categories, especially where overlapping areas are identified through the **Focus Areas**.
- If any input is unclear or missing, ask targeted questions to refine the taxonomy.

## **Detailed Process Outline**
### 1. Structuring the Taxonomy
- **Categories**:
- Identify the broad categories that cover the major aspects of the **Topic**, tailored to the **Focus Areas**.
- Include definitions to clarify the scope of each category, especially in relation to the **Context**.
- **Subcategories**:
- Break down each category into subcategories, using the **Context** to ensure they are relevant to the intended purpose.
- Leverage the provided **Frameworks** to align subcategories where applicable.
- **Topics**:
- List detailed topics under each subcategory, informed by the **Focus Areas** and aligned with any specified **Frameworks**.
- Include descriptions to explain the significance of each topic.
### 2. Highlighting Relationships
- **Cross-Connections**:
- Identify overlaps between categories where topics or methods intersect, guided by the **Focus Areas**.
- Highlight dependencies or complementary areas where concepts overlap, aligning with the **Context**.
- **Hierarchy**:
- Use a nested structure to show how categories, subcategories, and topics relate to each other.
- Consider visual aids like hierarchical lists or tree diagrams to enhance clarity.
### 3. Refinement and Validation
- **Consistency Check**:
- Ensure all categories, subcategories, and topics are clearly defined and non-redundant.
- **Alignment with Frameworks**:
- Verify that the taxonomy aligns with any provided **Frameworks**.
- **Feedback Loop**:
- Refine the taxonomy based on additional feedback or updates to the **Context** or **Focus Areas**.
---
## **Output Requirements**
- **Format**: Use nested lists or a hierarchical tree structure for clarity.
- **Depth**: Include at least three levels of detail (e.g., Categories → Subcategories → Topics).
- **Definitions**: Provide brief descriptions to clarify each category and subcategory.
- **Examples**: Use case studies or examples to demonstrate practical applications, especially where relevant to the **Context**.

## **Example: Taxonomy for [Topic]**
**Focus Areas**: [Focus Areas]
**Context**: [Context, e.g., for strategic planning, educational content]
**Frameworks**: [Frameworks, if any, e.g., Agile methodology, Lean principles]
### **1. Categories**
1. **[Category 1]**
1.1. **[Subcategory 1.1]:** [Brief description of Subcategory 1.1]
- [Topic 1]: [Brief description of Topic 1]
- (Continue for each topic)
1.2. (Continue for each subcategory)
2. (Continue for each category)
### **2. Relationships**
- **Cross-Connections**:
- (List cross-connections, e.g., **[Category X]** influences **[Category Y]** through shared techniques or tools.)
- (Continue for each cross-connection)
- **Dependencies**:
- (List dependencies, e.g., **[Subcategory A]** depends on foundational work from **[Subcategory B]** to optimize outcomes.)
- (Continue for each dependency)
