<p>Many WordPress installs suffer from cramming hundreds or thousands of varied taxonomy terms in to a limited number of ill-suited, all-purpose taxonomies (eg. the default “categories” and “tags”).</p>
<p>These are better off split in to dedicated taxonomies. For example, storing “Bill Gates” and “Microsoft” terms in “tags” is not optimal, because one is a <em>person</em> whilst the other is a <em>company</em>.</p>
<p>There is no straightforward way to split up existing taxonomies more granularly in this way, except for  labour-intensive and manual, technical effort. So, many WordPress installs continue to suffer from not having created granular taxonomies intentionally at the outset.</p>
<p>Term Tidier tidies up messy taxonomies like these automatically. It uses natural language processing and knowledge graph technology to determine the real <a href="https://gcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/google/cloud/language/entity.html#EntityType" rel="nofollow ugc">entity type</a> of existing terms, then re-assigns them each to a more appropriate, alternative taxonomy.</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>Term Tidier uses Google Cloud’s Natural Language Processing features via API calls.</p>
<p>Users set a “source taxonomy”, the taxonomy they want to be tidied up.</p>
<p>For each term within that taxonomy, Term Tidier calls Google Cloud to examine the term name, aiming to return a determination as to its true “entity”.</p>
<p>The plugin receives one of eight “entity” type determinations from Google Cloud – UNKNOWN, PERSON, LOCATION, ORGANIZATION, EVENT, WORK_OF_ART, CONSUMER_GOOD or OTHER.</p>
<p>For each entity type, users specify a target taxonomy to which a matching term will be moved. For example, you can map all terms found to be a “LOCATION” to your own “Places” taxonomy, if it exists.</p>
<p>For each term in the source taxonomy, if a particular entity was determined, Term Tidier moves the term to your corresponding taxonomy.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Use Term Tidier from the WordPress Tools menu (Tools > Context Term Tidier).</p>
<p>The plugin page confirms your settings as set in Settings, displaying the taxonomy and terms which will be examined.</p>
<p>Click the “Tidy Terms” button to execute the operation.</p>
<p>Term Tidier will cycle through each term, seeking an “entity” determination and re-assigning any terms possible.</p>
