In drupal taxonomy <http://drupal.org/node/299> works in different way:
Vocabulary is the "container" such as a macro-category that contain terms,
terms are real categories, you can assign to every nodes type many
vocabulary.

eg:
using a news website you can assign to story content type different
categories, places, topic,

Places (Vocabulary)
- Rome (term)
- Amsterdam (term)
- Paris (term)
- Berlin (term)
- ... (term)

Topic (Vocabulary)
- Politics (term)
- Finance (term)
- Lifestyle (term)
- ...

I hope being enough clear :)
