Background from Wikipedia

Look up taxonomy in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. For the science of classifying living things, see alpha taxonomy.

Taxonomy (from Greek verb tasse?? or tassein = "to classify" and ??µ?? or nomos = law, science, cf "economy") was once only the science of classifying living organisms (alpha taxonomy), but later the word was applied in a wider sense, and may also refer to either a classification of things, or the principles underlying the classification. Almost anything, animate objects, inanimate objects, places, and events, may be classified according to some taxonomic scheme.
