However the efficient use of these portals requires a well-structured knowledge taxonomy that enables systematic content categorization smooth information retrieval personalized learning pathways and improved digital pedagogy. This research explores how a knowledge taxonomy can be conceptualized developed and operationalized within an e-learning portal to support higher education institutions. The study analyzes contemporary knowledge management theories digital taxonomy models learning analytics metadata frameworks and pedagogical structures used in global e-learning systems. It highlights the need for universities to integrate multi-layered classification systems that categorize digital learning resources base
