!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] is the practice and science of [classification]. 

The word is also used as a count noun: a [{$pagename}], or taxonomic scheme, is a particular [classification]. 

The word finds its roots in the Greek τάξις, taxis (meaning 'order', 'arrangement') and νόμος, nomos ('law' or 'science'). 

Originally [{$pagename}] referred only to the classifying of organisms or a particular [classification] of organisms. In a wider, more general sense, it may refer to a [classification] of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such a [classification]. 

[{$pagename}] is different from meronomy which is dealing with the classification of parts of a whole.

Many taxonomies have a [hierarchical] structure, but this is not a requirement. 

[{$pagename}] uses taxonomic units, known as taxa (singular taxon).

A [{$pagename}] is considered narrower than an [ontology] which apply a larger variety of relation types.[Folksonomy] is a [Sociality] form of [{$pagename}] such as the use of [#hashtag|hashtag] or [@mention|atMention][Blinding Identity Taxonomy] ([BIT]) is has the aim of providing needed common standards to help protect the privacy of personally identifiable information (PII) about people, organizations, or things.
