Taxonomy (Advocacy)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Anthromorphemics)

The theory of classification.

Taxonomy (Anthropology)

The theory of classification.

Taxonomy (Biomediation)

Study of the characterization, classification, and naming of organisms according to standard rules. Most modern taxonomies are phylogenetic (or natural); they attempt to group organisms according to evolutionary descent.

Taxonomy (Computer Technology)

The science dealing with the identification, naming, and classification of things.

Taxonomy (Consumer Generated Media)

The science of classification. A taxonomy might be a simple organization of objects into groups, or even an alphabetical list.

Taxonomy (Digital Rights Management)

The Montague Institue Review calls a taxonomy "a system for naming and organizing things into groups that share similar characteristics." Taxonomies often come to play in content management systems and document management systems. Without a solid taxonomy and structure, all the software in the world isn't going to make managing your content any easier.

Taxonomy (Ecology)

The system that scientists developed to classify (put in order) all living things. There are seven groups (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species). Scientists started by putting all living things (organisms) into Kingdoms. There are five Kingdoms (Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protist, and Moneran). Then, each Kingdom is split into smaller groups, called a Phylum. Each Phylum is then split into smaller groups called Classes. Each Class is split into smaller groups called Orders. Each Order is split into smaller groups called Families. Each Family is split into smaller groups called a Genus. Each Genus is split into Species. Species aren't really groups, because the scientists have finally narrowed it down to one particular organism. The way that scientists decided which organism goes in which group is by comparing them to see what they have in common. For example: All the organisms that can move around by running, flying, swimming, etc. went into the Animal Kingdom. Then, all the animals that have backbones went into the Chordate Phylum. Then all the animals with backbones that had hollow bones and feathers went into the Bird Class. And so on. . . This system allows us to organize and keep track of all living things.

Taxonomy (Evolution)

The theory and practice of biological classification.

Taxonomy (Folksonomy)

This is the scientific discipline of naming organisms. It was started by Carolus Linné (Carl Linneaus), perhaps the most famous taxonomist. Taxonomy is one of the three branches of Systematics.

Taxonomy (Fossils)

The theory and practice of biological classification.

Taxonomy (Fundraising)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Grantmaking)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Horse Health)

The classification of organisms into different categories on the basis of their individual physical and biochemical relationships to each other.

Taxonomy (Microbiology)

The study of scientific classification and nomenclature.

Taxonomy (Non-Profit Accountability)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Non-Profit Governance)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Non-Profit Leadership)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Non-Profit Marketing)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Organizational Capacity)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Paleontology)

The science dealing with the identification, naming, and classification of plants and animals.

Taxonomy (Security Testing)

A scheme that partitions a body of knowledge and defines the relationships among the pieces. It is used for classifying and undertranding the body of knowledge.
A taxonomy is the theoretical study of classiication, including its bases, principles, procedures and rules [Simpson 1945; ...; WEBOL 1998].

Taxonomy (Spiders)

The theory and practice of classifying organisms, part of systematics, the study of the kinds and diversity of organisms.

Taxonomy (Technology)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Volunteer Management)

A series of ordered groupings of people or things within a system.

Taxonomy (Zoological)

The field of science that classifies life.
