Use Function_Reference/register_taxonomy to register your taxonomy to a post…example here registers taxonomy to book, post, page
register_taxonomy('genre',array('book','post','page'), array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'genre' ),
));

Thank you for your help. I’m registering the book taxonomy to a post like this:
register_taxonomy('book',array('post'), array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'genre' ),
));
Could you also explain how to
1) choose which book (or books, if WP can handle several relations) that should be connected to the post? Let’s say that I have 5000 books. Can I search by title?
2) display the information about a specific book (or several books, if possible) taxonomy when I’m looking at a post?
Thanks
1. Give the post a term belonging to the taxonomy.
2. Not sure i follow what you mean.
Taxonomies are just like tags and categories, categories would be an example of a hierarchal taxonomy and post tags are a non-hierarchal example.
So for your books taxonomy, as you would with categories, you need to create terms for that taxonomy.
