Yes! I think this is a key concept that is often overlooked. Taxonomies -- and ontologies for that matter -- can often serve as a guide to the corpus, particularly when a user has less familiarity with the knowledge space. And yes, any taxonomy is by definition always a subjective, biased construct. But this is often useful in helping to reveal the preferences and motivations behind the creation and curation of the corpus itself.
