Taxonomy may refer both to a hierarchical classification of things, and the principles underlying the classification. Almost anything animate objects, inanimate objects, places, and events may be classified according to some taxonomic scheme. Mathematically, a taxonomy is a tree structure of classifications for a given set of objects. 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 Carolus Linnaeus 's Scientific classification of organisms, the root is the Organism (as this applies to all living things, it is implied rather than stated explicitly). Below this is the Domain, followed in order by the Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

The Linnaean taxonomy is widely used in the biological sciences . It was first developed by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century during the great expansion of natural history. Linnaean taxonomy classifies living things into a hierarchy , starting with domains or kingdoms. Kingdoms are divided phyla (singular: phylum) or divisions for plants. Phyla are divided into classes, then orders, families, genera (singular: genus) and species. Groups of organisms at any of these ranks are called taxa , or phyla , or taxonomic groups A summary of this scheme, from most general to most specific: An acronym mnemonic for remembering this list in order is: K ing P hillip c alled o ut f or g ood s oup.

Math at NIST The classification system itself is here Classification systems have long been used to give structure to large bodies of information. A well-formulated system can improve understanding of the information as well as ease access to it, thus making the information more useful. The Dewey Decimal System, for example, provides a means for librarians to maintain a large collection of books. Since the system is subject-oriented, library users can quickly find books in a given subject area. Likewise, a subject-oriented classification system can be an effective means of directing users to appropriate mathematical and statistical software. To be effective, such a classification system must have the following properties. Problem-orientation. It must classify the problems which can be solved by computer software. Other orientations, such as classification by algorithm or classification by software package, are of less interest to end users. Variable-level tree structure.
Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives
THE taxonomy OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES. This is a Affective Domainof the taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The Affective Domain
http://www.humboldt.edu/~tha1/bloomtax.html

Extractions: This is a revised version of Benjamin Bloom's work with the addition of the Psychomotor Domain as developed by Anita Harrow [1972]. Dr. Bloom's intent was to develop a classification framework for writing educational objectives. The questions and examples were added by Tom Allen to make the Taxonomy more useful for beginning teachers as a tool to facilitate appropriate questioning. Knowledge: recognize or recall information. Q: What is the capital of Maine? Who wrote "Hamlet?" Words typically used: define, recall, recognize, remember, who, what, where, when. Comprehension: demonstrate that the student has sufficient understanding to organize and arrange material mentally. Q: What do you think Hamlet meant when he said, "to be or not to be, that is the question?" (Rosenshine, among others, would argue that one of the best ways to teach is to teach pupils how to ask their own questions about the topic under consideration.) Words typically used: describe, compare, contrast, rephrase, put in your own words, explain the main idea.

For example Eukaryota, Metazoa , Arthropoda, Insecta ,Drosophila melanogaster, etc. The taxonomy query language uses the words AND, OR, NOT as operators, and parenthesis to define priorities. e.g.: Drosophila melanogaster AND NOT (Vertebrata or Caenorhabditis elegans) this query will return the list of Pfam domains present in fly but not in worm and vertebrates. Write your query here: Find domains unique to a specific family. Example:domains unique to Plasmodium falciparum. This search can take several minutes.

Extractions: rather complex. This became a taxonomy that included the three domains; cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. This article discusses the cognitive domain. The taxonomy also provides a useful structure in which to categorize test questions. Bloom found that over 95 % of the test questions students encounter require them to think only at the lowest possible level ... the recall of information.

The ABC's Of Animal Taxonomy
An introduction to the scientific classification of animals, with a discussion ofconventional Linnaean and cladistic taxonomy. The ABC's of Animal taxonomy.
http://www.pcisys.net/~dlblanc/taxonomy.html

Extractions: The ABC's of Animal Taxonomy by Donald L. Blanchard Taxonomy: The science of classifying plants and animals into species and logical groups of species. This article was originally published in The Cold Blooded News , the newsletter of the Colorado Herpetological Society , Vol 26, #1, January, 1999. There are two distinct taxonomic systems currently in vogue among professional zoologists today. The traditional, or Linnaean, taxonomy is still largely in favor among field workers, conservationists, and husbandry people. The alternative, Cladistic taxonomy, is overwhelmingly supported by evolutionary biologists. Over time, biologist added additional, larger and higher level group names, called taxons (plural: taxa), from Family up to Kingdom, arranged in a hierarchical order, until a standardized 7-level hierarchy was established, as follows: Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Reptilia Order Squamata Family Colubridae Genus Pituophis species catenifer (Bullsnake, Gopher Snake) To further facilitate grouping similar or closely related groups, these taxa may optionally be divided with from one to three named intermediate-level taxa, as required. For example: Class Major division (required) Subclass 1st optional subdivision Infraclass 3rd optional subdivision Superorder 2nd optional subdivision Order Major division (required) The taxa Superkingdom and Infraspecies are generally not used, leaving a maximum of 26 possible taxonomic categories, although all are rarely required for any given species (or subspecies).

Extractions: The Question Index The "Big Five" of personality traits has made a comeback in recent years. Describe the Big Five and relevant research, and in your answer include the following: What is the evidence on which the claim that there are five basic traits rests? Summarize the major conceptual and empirical work relevant to the nature and usefulness of these dimensions? Discuss whether this system fully captures what is meant by "personality." To what degree can individual differences be summarized by the Big Five? In other words, evaluate the strengths and limitations to this individual differences conception of personality. Might the Big Five be considered a complete description of personality? My Answer The Big Five Index Taxonomy: 1) The science, laws, or principles of classification. 2) (Biology) The theory, principles, and process of classifying organisms in established categories. American Heritage dictionary, 1985 All real knowledge which we possess depends on methods by which we distinguish the similar from the dissimilar...We ought therefore by attentive and diligent observation to determine the limits of the genera, since they cannot be determined a priori. This is the great work, the important labor, for should the genera be confused, all would be confusion Carolus Linnaeus
Taxonomy Of Socratic Questions
taxonomy of Socratic Questioning. The taxonomy of Socratic questions, createdby Richard Paul, is not a hierarchy in the traditional sense.
http://www-ed.fnal.gov/trc/tutorial/taxonomy.html

Extractions: The taxonomy of Socratic questions, created by Richard Paul, is not a hierarchy in the traditional sense. The categories build upon each other, but they do not necessarily follow a pattern or design. One question's response will lead into another category of questioning not predetermined by the teacher/facilitator. In keeping with the PBL philosophy, this aspect of the model is most conducive! The role of the skilled teacher/facilitator is to keep the inquiry "train on track," but, also, to allow the students to "travel to a viable destination" of their own design. The following table has been adapted from: Paul, Richard, Critical Thinking: How to Prepare Students for a Rapidly Changing World, Questions that Probe Reasons and Evidence Questions of Clarification Questions that Probe Assumptions Questions that Probe Reasons and Evidence What do you mean by ? What is your main point?
