### order | series | hierarchy:

Taxonomy
* Describe the catalogue of diversity.
* Taxonomies are an important part of the contemporary knowledge management and search services scene
  - mitigate against the complexities of representation in information retrieval
  - show there hierarchical relationship by inference
  - transform an abstract, unfamiliar concept into a concrete, well-defined idea
* also involves naming organisms.
* categorization method.
* comes from the mycobiont.
* fundamental discipline in the science of biodiversity.
* hierarchical system for classifying and identifying organisms.
* highlights our biological history.
* involves the classification of living things.
* is about the groups that different kinds of living organisms fall into
  - all about identification and recognition
  - also necessary for the modern science
* is an attempt to categorize plant genetic relationships
  - inexact science, there is debate over how to divide living organisms into species
  - at the same time the most basic and the most derived or synthetic field of biology
  - based on a variety of characteristics in the appearance of the wall
  - categorizations
  - concerned with nomenclature, the assignment of names to organisms
  - essentially the recognition of different organism and their separation into groups
  - one of the three branches of Systematics
  - probably the oldest science - plants classified as poisonous vs. edible
  - simply the name for the practice of classifying organisms
* is the basis of the organization of material culture remains
  - biological discipline of identifying and classifying organisms
* is the branch of biology concerned with naming and classifying organisms
  - with naming and classifying the diverse forms of life
  - that names and classifies all living things
  - classification of organisms
  - division of biology concerned with the classification and naming of organisms
  - naming of biological groups
* is the organization of a particular set of information for a particular purpose
  - different organisms to show their relationships
* is the practice of classifying and naming living organisms
  - biodiversity, and it has a long and venerable history
  - rules used to classify and the groups of objects generated
* is the science of classification of birds and other animals and plants
  - classifying, naming, and describing organisms
  - describing, naming, and classifying organisms
  - grouping or organizing things
  - identifying, naming, organizing, and classifying organisms
* is the science of naming and classifying organisms
  - classifying the diversity of organisms
* is the science of the classification of both plants and animals
* is the scientific art of classifying living things
  - study of how living things are classified
* is the study of classification and comes from the Greek word taxos meaning order
  - classifying organisms into groups based on structure and function
  - naming and classifying animals
  - theoretical classification
  - theory and practice of classifying organisms
  - way that scientists name animals
* means giving names to things.
* plays an important role in land use and development.
* provides a vivid picture of the existing organic diversity of the earth
  - much of the information permitting a reconstruction of the phylogeny of life
* refers to forming groups
  - the assignment of scientific names to groups of organisms
* represents concepts where axioms are established rules and principles for the concepts.
* shows biological relationships among species.
* system for classifying living things on our planet
  - used to make things easier for biologists
* thus provides a common language for all scientists working in the discipline of biology.

Modern taxonomy
* Modern taxonomies rank the group as a phylum or subphylum.
* has to integrate genetics and ecology.
