The Taxonomy VTN module provides an index for vocabularies, terms and nodes just like those you find at the end of reference or technical books. It supports synonyms, terms, related terms, and parent/child relations. The root Taxonomy VTN path is http://www.example.com/taxonomy_vtn
On June 15, 2009 I fixed a couple of problems: the master index would show the first description found for all the entries. The Node back link when coming from a parent/child page would send you back to the main vocabulary page with all the terms.

About Author Taxonomy
Author Taxonomy allows you to assign one or more authors to a node using terms from a taxonomy of author names. This module also provides a fully themable replacement for your byline (the "submitted by Username on date" text).
Displays author names in a serialized manner: "Jane and Jack" or "Jane, Jack, and Joe."
Replaces your theme's default post information output (the "submitted by Username on date" text). This is possible in the 5.x version, but it requires changing some lines in your theme.
NEW! Author terms can be associated with actual user accounts. (6.x-1.x only.)
IMPROVED! Links each author term to either: (1) a page that lists all nodes tagged with that author or (2) the profile of the user associated with that author. (Option 2 is available only in 6.x-1.x.)
Option to overwrite the "real" author -- that is, the user who created and published the node -- if one of the author taxonomy terms matches a username.
This module displays a horizontal menu in a block under which a submenu appears when an user hovers on an item. If the menu on the current page has a submenu, it's displayed by default, so this module degrades gracefully if Javascript is not present.
The 6.x branch of this module was sponsored by Koumbit.org
