This PR renames the core API interfaces and methods to align with industry standards and existing Google Cloud precedents.
As discussed in the "Rename to Classify API & Classifier.classify()" issue, the current nomenclature is being updated to improve developer familiarity:
Industry Standard: Machine Learning and NLP tasks that assign labels to text are universally referred to as "Classification."
Consistency: This change brings the API in line with Google Cloud's classifyText and IBM Watson's Natural Language Classifier.
Changes
Renamed Taxonomizer → Classifier.
Renamed categorize() → classify().
Updated internal documentation and README examples to reflect these changes.
Note: The repository name remains taxonomy-api and api name remains Taxonomy API for this PR to maintain existing links.
