Bloom's Taxonomy Benjamin Bloom created this taxonomy for categorizing level of abstraction of questions that commonly occur in educational settings. The taxonomy provides a useful structure in which to categorize test questions, since professors will characteristically ask questions within particular levels, and if you can determine the levels of questions that will appear on your exams, you will be able to study using appropriate strategies.

GRIN taxonomic data provide the structure and nomenclature for the accessions of the National Plant Germplasm System ( NPGS ). Many plants (37,000 taxa, 14,000 genera) are included in GRIN taxonomy, especially economic plants. A recent paper on GRIN taxonomy provides a thorough discussion of data standards and taxonomic philosophy.

Welcome! It is 12:30 PM on Tuesday, March 18, 2003. This page has served visitors. Last Update: Friday, September 27, 2002.
Introduction
We use this lab in Patterns and Processes , and Tropical Marine Ecology . This exercise illustrates the creativity involved in taxonomy and the roles form and function, ancestral traits and derived characters play in generating classification schemes. It can also serve as an introduction to topics in evolution and paleontology. We have noticed that in the field, after completing this exercise, students begin to recognize distinctions and similarities in fauna which they may have not noticed before.

Background
It has become apparent to scientists that the biosphere consists of, at a minimum, 1.5 million described species. Some researchers estimate that there may be upwards of 40 million species (Go here for an

Abstract
The advent of software agents gave rise to much discussion of just what such an agent is, and of how they differ from programs in general. Here we propose a formal definition of an autonomous agent which clearly distinguishes a software agent from just any program. We also offer the beginnings of a natural kinds taxonomy of autonomous agents, and discuss possibilities for further classification . Finally, we discuss subagents and multiagent systems
Introduction
On meeting a friend or colleague that we haven't seen for a while, or a new acquaintance, some version of the following conversation often ensues:
What are you working on these days?
Control structures for autonomous agents.
Autonomous agents? What do you mean by that?
A brief explanation is then followed by:
But agents sound just like computer programs. How are they different?

A Supernovae Taxonomy Flow Chart
Description of the Flow Chart
The observational classes are in sharp-cornered boxes. Theoretical interpretations (i.e. possible progenitors ) are listed in the boxes with rounded corners. Examples are listed underneath the observational classes. It should be noted that SN 1987A had a fairly odd behavior (for fairly well understood reasons) and is certainly not a prototypical SN IIP. It was rather sub-luminous, and while it may represent a certain population of sub-luminous SN II, we will probably not detect too many members of this population precisely because they are sub-luminous. SN 1987A may be better classified as an SN IIpec. A theoretical interpretation of observations has driven the organization of this plot. At the left side, there is little or no hydrogen present in the ejecta; as one moves right, there is increasing evidence for hydrogen. SN IIP have a plateau in their post-maximum light curve, while SN IIL do not (Barbon et al 1979). SN IIL and IIP may
Current Classification Scheme
The current classification scheme has these broad divisions: SN I show no hydrogen lines in their early spectra; SN II do show hydrogen in their early spectra. Subclasses determined by spectral evidence are denoted by lower-case letters, Ia, Ib, Ic, IIb (Woosley et al. 1987; Filippenko 1988), and IIn (Schlegel 1990) . Subclasses determined by certain properties of the (usually)

The joy of seeing "familiar faces" everywhere; the invigoration a nature walk brings to both body and soul; the beauty and diversity of our Earthly co-habitants; and the pleasure of eating something found along the way. The material here is organized according to the biological principles of Taxonomy, or classification: We live on a planet called Earth. Biologists call the Earth and its atmosphere the Biosphere . The Biosphere is composed of organic and inorganic matter. Organic matter (stuff containing carbon) is again divided into living and non-living objects. All living beings are currently divided into five Kingdoms. Four of these Kingdoms are depicted above: Plantae , the plant kingdom, studied in the field of Botany Fungi , the kingdom of fungus and molds, studied as Mycology Animalia , the animal kingdom, the domain of Zoology ; and Protoctista , a catch-all for all other "higher-order" organisms from single-celled microbes to large seaweeds (algae).

The DELTA format (DEscription Language for TAxonomy) is a flexible method for encoding taxonomic descriptions for computer processing. It has been adopted by the International Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG) as a standard for data exchange. DELTA-format data can be used to produce natural-language descriptions, interactive or conventional keys, cladistic or phenetic classifications, and information-retrieval systems.
