Attaching Metadata to a Taxonomy Item

As Mamaduka said there is currently no (native) way of storing meta-data for taxonmies. There is talk of it. But it has stalled since its proving difficult to agree on how best to implement it.

For large amounts of data you might not want to use the options table. Alternatively you can create your own taxonomy meta table. There are a couple plug-ins that currently do this:
