Taxonomies are important for the development of a research field, as they play a major role in structuring a complex body of knowledge and help to classify processes, approaches, and solutions. While there is an increasing interest in taxonomies in the software engineering (SE) research field, we observe that SE taxonomies are rarely evaluated. To rise awareness and provide operational guidance on how to evaluate a taxonomy, this proposal-for-solution paper presents a three step evaluation method for taxonomies evaluating its structure, applicability, and purpose. This enables SE researchers to evaluate and improve the quality of their taxonomies and supports reviewers to assess the evaluation strategy.
