- Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. Taxonomy uses taxonomic units, known as taxa (singular taxon).

- A taxonomy is a hierarchical structure of units in terms if class inclusion such that superordinate units in the hierarchy include, or subsume, all items in subordinate units. Taxonomies are typically represented as having tree structures. Taxonomies display degree of specificity such that the superordinate units are very schematic or abstract and the subordinate units are very specific. In cognitive linguistics taxonomies are hierarcies of concepts and thus types of folk taxonomies. Taxonomy is, along with radial structure, a primary organizing principle in prototype categories.
- Taxonomy (from Greek τάξις taxis, "arrangement," and -νομία -nomia, "method") is the science of defining groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics and giving names to those groups. Organisms are grouped together into taxa (singular: taxon) and given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a super group of higher rank and thus create a taxonomic hierarchy. The Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus is regarded as the father of taxonomy, as he developed a system known as Linnaean classification for categorization of organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms.

- Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. The word comes from the Greek τάξις 'order' + νόμος 'law' or 'science'. Originally the term only referred to the science of classifying living organisms, now called specifically alpha taxonomy; however, the term is now applied in a wider sense and now may refer either to a classification of things, or to the principles underlying that classification.
- *Some of this arcticle was taken from Wikipedia.* Taxonomy is the classification of nature scientifically. The main taxonomic ranks are: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species, the other ranks that may be placed inbetween are the lesser ranks such as Subclass, Subfamily and Subspecies. Taxonomy can be used and can apply to non-living objects and man-made structures as well. Taxonomic classification was used to keep track of species and "order them" neatly. Taxanomic rank examples: A newly thought version of the Taxanomic ranks is like this:
- Taxonomy was the part of biology dealing with the definition and classification of organisms. One taxonomic rank was the genus. (TNG: "The Chase" , VOY: "Tattoo", "Distant Origin") Examples of taxonomic terms, which were usually rendered in Latin include "Felis Catus" (cats) (TNG: "Schisms" ) and "Homo sapiens" (Humans) (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror" , "The Empath" , Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

When a malfunction of USS Enterprise-D computer in 2369 caused the overwriting of several ship files with Data's personal files, the line about the taxonomic name of cats appeared on a PADD instead of the text of Something for Breakfast.

- Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. The word comes from the Greek τάξις 'order' + νόμος 'law' or 'science'. Originally the term only referred to the science of classifying living organisms, now called specifically alpha taxonomy; however, the term is now applied in a wider sense and now may refer either to a classification of things, or to the principles underlying that classification. Almost anything, animate objects, inanimate objects, places, concepts, and events, may be classified according to some taxonomic scheme. Taxonomies, which are composed of taxonomic units known as taxa (singular taxon), are frequently hierarchical in structure, commonly displaying parent-child relationships. The term taxonomy may also apply to relationship schemes other than hierarchies, such as network structures. Other taxonomies may include single children with multi-parents, for example, "Car" might appear with both parents "Vehicle" and "Steel Mechanisms"; to some however, this merely means that 'car' is part of several different taxonomies. A taxonomy might also be a simple organization of objects into groups, or even an alphabetical list. In current usage within "Knowledge Management", taxonomies are seen as slightly less broad than ontologies. Mathematically, a hierarchical taxonomy is a tree structure of classifications for a given set of objects. It is also named Containment hierarchy. At the top of this structure is a single classification, the root node, that applies to all objects. Nodes below this root are more specific classifications that apply to subsets of the total set of classified objects. So for instance, in common schemes of scientific classification of organisms, the root is called "Organism" followed by nodes for the ranks: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, etc. (more details below).
