Primate Taxonomy
Primate taxonomy. Taxonomies attempt to group species into broader categories( taxa, sing. taxon) on the basis of substantial similarities
http://www.umanitoba.ca/anthropology/courses/121/primatology/taxonomy.html

Extractions: Taxonomies attempt to group species into broader categories ( taxa , sing. taxon ) on the basis of substantial similarities and inferred descent from common ancestors. The primate order is divisible into numerous biological taxa on several levels. There are several possible taxonomical systems, and these have changed over time. The following classification is a simplified version of the most widely used system.
Index Nominum Genericorum (ING)
A collaborative project of the International Association for Plant taxonomy and the Smithsonian Institution, providing a compilation of generic names published for all organisms covered by the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
http://rathbun.si.edu/botany/ing/

Extractions: The Index Nominum Genericorum ING ), a collaborative project of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) and the Smithsonian Institution, was initiated in 1954 as a compilation of generic names published for all organisms covered by the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature . We are pleased to offer a way to search the ING database . We hope that those needing access to information about generic names of plants will use the index and will advise us of potential additions and corrections. Ellen Farr and Gea Zijlstra, Editors The original intent of the ING was to bring all generic names of plants together in a single list to reveal homonymy between groups. In addition, ING includes bibliographic citations and information about the typification and nomenclatural status of generic names. The index was first published on sets of printed cards and then in book form in 1979 (Farr et al., 1979). A supplement was also published (Farr et al., 1986). While a second supplement is planned, we recognize that hard copy is immediately out of date, and for users with access to the Internet we believe that the World Wide Web offers promise as a useful platform for a collaborative project such as this. Current work on the ING is supported by the Smithsonian Institution, IAPT, and the University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands. The content of the database was developed over a 40-year period by the efforts of more than 100

Extractions: Notice! This taxomony and the files formerly linked from it have been substantially revised and placed in a new directory. Please go to Primate Variations: Taxonomy to view the updated material. The following material is retained for reference purposes only. Primates are divisible into numerous biological taxa on several levels. There are several possible taxonomical systems, and these have changed over time. The following classification is a simplified version of Jolly and White, 1995, Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, Fifth Edition. (This version makes a radical departure from previous standards by placing chimpanzees and gorillas in the same family as humans (Hominidae). Older versions placed only humans in this taxon and refer to any human fossil forms as hominid to mark their distinct evolutionary direction. Jolly and White substitute the term hominin to indicate an exclusively human direction.) Note: Taxa which include the human species appear in light blue shaded boxes

Educational Psychology Interactive: The Cognitive Domain
Bloom et al.'s taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain. The taxonomy is presentedbelow with sample verbs and a sample behavior statement for each level.
http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/cogsys/bloom.html

Extractions: Last Modified: July 2000 Overview of the Cognitive System Educational Psychology Interactive Beginning in 1948, a group of educators undertook the task of classifying education goals and objectives. The intent was to develop a classification system for three domains: the cognitive, the affective, and the psychomotor. Work on the cognitive domain was completed in 1956 and is commonly referred to as Bloom's Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain although the full title was Taxonomy of educational objectives: The classification of educational goals. Handbook I: Cognitive domain with the text having 4 other authors (M. Englehart, E. Furst, W. Hill, and D Krathwohl). The major idea of the taxonomy is that what educators want students to know (encompased in statements of educational objectives ) can be arranged in a hierarchy from less to more complex. The taxonomy is presented below with sample verbs and a sample behavior statement for each level. LEVEL DEFINITION SAMPLE

Virus Taxonomy

http://www-micro.msb.le.ac.uk/335/VirusGroups.html

Extractions: Orthography: ("spelling conventions") The names of virus orders, families, subfamilies, genera and species should be written in italics with the first letter capitalized. Other words are not capitalized unless they are proper nouns, e.g. Tobacco mosaic virus, Poliovirus, Murray River encephalitis virus. This format should only be used when official taxonomic entities are referred to - it is not possible to centrifuge the species Poliovirus for example, but it is possible to centrifuge poliovirus. Italics and capitalization are not used for vernacular forms (e.g. rhinoviruses, c.f. the genus Rhinovirus)

Biology 211: Taxonomy Of Flowering Plants
An introduction to the principles and practice of flowering planttaxonomy. Emphasis is placed on acquiring the facility to use
http://www.colby.edu/info.tech/BI211/Bio211.html

Extractions: An introduction to the principles and practice of flowering plant taxonomy. Emphasis is placed on acquiring the facility to use appropriate terminology in order to identify plants, as well as understanding the historical context and investigative procedures of taxonomists in designing a classification. Of particular importance is gaining an understanding of the philosophical bases in taxonomy and the relevance of this field to other areas of biology. Course Objectives: Learn vegetative and reproductive features and terminology that are useful in the identification of flowering plants. Gain ability to use published keys for the identification of flowering plants. Learn to recognize some of the common and unusual families of flowering plants in Maine. Understand the principles of plant taxonomy, including evolutionary trends, patterns of speciation, biogeography, and floral biology. Gain an understanding of the relationships between evolutionary mechanisms, evolutionary history, and the classification of organisms. Develop an ability to critically examine the extent to which a classification system reflects relationships between organisms.
Feature-Practical Taxonomies
Examines the use and implementation of taxonomies to organize organizational knowledge and data.
http://www.phys.uni.torun.pl/~duch/ref/s-search/taxonomy/featureb1.htm

Extractions: January 1999 -By Sarah L. Roberts-Witt The only thing harder than finding any particular item of information may be finding it again. As organizations and individuals struggle over the intractable problem of data smog, the issue isn't so much acquiring the information in the first place, but remembering just where it was left. The solution is a knowledge classification system-including a taxonomy structure for navigating the system-that categorizes all the information the organization chooses to track in a logical manner so that it can be reliably accessed by anyone in the organization. Sounds easy, right? Just ask Yahoo! The opening page of Yahoo! provides an entre to one of the largest, most familiar and most frequently accessed knowledge classification systems in the world, fronted by a basic but highly usable taxonomy. "We continually revisit and re-evaluate the directory structure to make sure it still works for the people who use it," said Srinija Srinivasan, Yahoo!'s editor-in-chief. "We are all about determining which differences we can carve out, as well as defining which similarities are meaningful." When it comes to creating a knowledge-classification system, it is fair to say that the majority of organizations don't face the challenges Yahoo! does in terms of information volume. Conversely, most organizations don't have the luxury of attacking the problem with an army of human indexers and editors. But there is a common thread-the need to tame the seemingly endless influx of data in a way that is usable, effective and simple.

Growing Squash And Pumpkins In The Home Garden, HYG-1620-93
Gives information on history and taxonomy, climate, fertilizer and lime, culture, insects and diseases, pollination, harvesting, storage, and varieties.
http://www.ag.ohio-state.edu/~ohioline/hyg-fact/1000/1620.html

Extractions: Ted W. Gastier Squash and pumpkins will be discussed together because their cultural requirements are similar and because of the great confusion in differentiating between the two. There is also confusion about the origin of pumpkins and squash. T.W. Whitaker and G.W. Bohn presented evidence in 1950 that five species of Cucurbita, that are known as pumpkins and squash, originated in the Americas. Whitaker and Bohn also defined the terms pumpkin, summer squash, and winter squash as follows: Pumpkin -the edible fruit of any species of Cucurbita, used when ripe as a table vegetable or in pies; flesh is somewhat coarse and/or strongly flavored, hence is not generally served as a baked vegetable. Summer Squash -The edible fruit of any species of Cucurbita, commonly C. pepo , used when immature as a table vegetable. Winter Squash -The edible fruit of any species of Cucurbita used when ripe as a table vegetable or in pies; flesh is usually fine-grained and of mild flavor, hence is suitable for baking.
