Profile Taxonomy enables the assignment of taxonomy terms to user profiles. Site administrators can reference
a vocabulary from a list selection user profile field. Then users can choose the populated taxonomy terms from the user profile pages or registration form.
This module builds on top of the list selection profile field making its data source, i. e. option list, dynamic by referencing taxonomy terms. This elegant masquerading makes Profile Taxonomy compatible with various themes and other modules, e. g. Views, Apache Solr Search Integration or other user profile related modules.

This module is developed in scope of the OSCE 3.0 website and CMS relaunch.
Recommendations
- Profile Checkboxes: Associate multiple terms with a profile list selection field
- Profile Role: Restrict visibilty of user categories (and their contained fields) by user roles
Limitations
The list selection profile field can only store term names, but not the term ids. When updating taxonomy terms its names have to be unique within a vocabulary, otherwise already selected terms won't be refreshed correctly.
