  1. Corporate taxonomy

    Corporate taxonomy is the hierarchical classification of entities of interest of an enterprise, organization or administration, used to classify documents, digital assets and other information. Taxonomies can cover virtually any type of physical or conceptual entities products, processes, knowledge fields, human groups, etc. at any level of granularity . Corporate taxonomies are increasingly used in information systems particularly content management and knowledge management systems , as a way to allow instant access to the right information within exponentially growing volumes of data in learning organizations . Relatively simple systems based on semantic networks and taxonomies proved to be a serious competitor to heavy data mining systems and behavior analysis software in contextual filtering applications used for routing customer requests, pushing content on a Web site or delivering product advertising in a targeted and pertinent way. A powerful approach to map and retrieve unstructured data, taxonomies allow efficient solutions in the management of corporate knowledge, in particular in complex organizational models for workflows , human resources or customer relations . As an extension of traditional thesauri and Taxonomic classification classifications used in a company, a corporate taxonomy is usually the fruit of a large harmonization effort involving most departments of the organization.

It aims to create a taxonomy using numeric algorithms like cluster analysis rather than using subjective evaluation of their properties. The concept was first developed by Robert R. Sokal & Peter H. A. Sneath in 1963 ref Sokal & Sneath Principles of Numerical Taxonomy , San Francisco W.H. Freeman, 1963 ref and later elaborated by the same authors ref Sneath and Sokal Numerical Taxonomy , San Francisco W.H. Freeman, 1973 ref . They divided the field into phenetics in which classifications are formed based on the patterns of overall similarities and cladistics in which classifications based on the branching patterns of the estimated evolutionary history of the taxa. Note in recent years many authors treat numerical taxonomy and phenetics as synonyms despite the distinctions made by those authors. Although intended as an objective classification method, in practice the choice and implicit weighing of characteristics is, of course, influenced by available data and research interests of the investigator. What was made objective was the introduction of explicit steps to be used to create phenograms and cladograms using numerical methods rather than subjective synthesis of data.

  1. Plant taxonomy

    Unreferenced date June 2009 Plant taxonomy is the science that finds, describes, classifies, identifies, and names plant s. It thus is one of the main branches of alpha taxonomy taxonomy . Plant taxonomy is closely allied to history of plant systematics plant systematics , and there is no sharp boundary between the two. In practice, plant systematics is involved with relationships between plants and their evolution, especially at the higher levels, whereas plant taxonomy deals with the actual handling of plant specimen s. The precise relationship between taxonomy and systematics, however, has changed along with the goals and methods employed. Plant taxonomy is well known for being turbulent, and traditionally there is no really close agreement on wiktionary circumscription circumscription and placement of taxon taxa . See the list of systems of plant taxonomy . Identification and classification Two goals of plant taxonomy are the identification and classification of plants. The distinction between these two goals is important and often overlooked. Plant identification is the determination of the identity of an unknown plant by comparison with previously collected specimens or with the aid of books or identification manuals. The process of identification connects the specimen with a published name. Once a plant specimen has been identified, its name and properties are known. Plant classification is the placing of known plants into groups or categories to show some relationship. Scientific classification follows a system of rules that standardizes the results, and groups successive categories into a hierarchy . For example, the Family biology family to which the Lilium lilies belong is classified as follows Kingdom Plant ae Division Magnoliophyta Class Liliopsida Order Liliales ...

  1. Segregate (taxonomy)

    In Alpha taxonomy taxonomy , a segregate , or a segregate taxon is created when a taxon is split off, from another taxon. This other taxon will be better known, usually bigger, and will continue to exist, even after the segregate taxon has been split off. A segregate will be either new or ephemeral there is a tendency for taxonomists to disagree on segregates, and later workers often reunite a segregate with the mother taxon. If a segregate is generally accepted as a good taxon it ceases to be a segregate. Thus, this is a way of indicating change in the taxonomic status. It should not be confused with, for example, the subdivision of a genus into subgenus subgenera . For example, the genus Alsobia is a segregate from the genus Episcia The genera Filipendula and Aruncus are segregates from the genus Spiraea .

    Pavitt s Taxonomy categorizes mostly large industrial firms along trajectories of technological change according to sources of technology, requirements of the users, and appropriability regime Pavitt 1984 . The taxonomy aims to classify innovation modes according to different sectoral groups and the flow of knowledge between such groups. It was first proposed by SPRU researcher Keith Pavitt at the University of Sussex and has since been applied in innovation research to describe and categorize industries and the firms therein Daniele Archibugi Archibugi 2001 . According to Castellacci 2008 , Pavitt s model of the linkages between science based, specialized suppliers, scale intensive and supplier dominated industries provides a stylized and powerful description of the core set of industrial sectors that sustained the growth of advanced economies during the Fordist age. Pavitt s Taxonomy Pavitt s taxonomy consists of four categories of industrial firms 1 Supplier Dominated includes firms from mostly traditional manufacturing such as textiles and agriculture which rely on sources of innovation external to the firm. 2 Scale Intensive characterized by mainly large firms producing basic materials and consumer durables, e.g. automotive sector. Sources of innovation may be both internal and external to the firm with a medium level of appropriability. 3 Specialized Suppliers smaller, more specialized firms producing technology to be sold into other firms, e.g. specialized machinery production and high tech instruments.

The first four levels are essentially Cognitive skill cognitive thinking , while the last four levels are affective feeling in nature. Each level of the Taxonomy is taught explicitly to students so that students are trained in creative thinking skills. Once familiar with each skill, students are given opportunity to transfer skill to content. The eight levels are Fluency , the generation of many ideas, answers, responses , possibilities to a given situation problem Flexibility , the generation of alternatives, variations, adaptations, different ideas solutions options Originality , the generation of new, unique and novel responses solutions Elaboration , the expansion, enlargement, enrichment or embellishment of ideas to make it easier for others to understand or make it more interesting Risk taking , experimenting, trying new challenges Complexity , the ability to create structure out of chaos, to bring logical order to a given situation and or to see the missing parts Curiosity , the ability to wonder, ponder, contemplate or puzzle Imagination , the ability to build mental pictures, visualise possibilities and new things or reach beyond practical limits. The purposes of the taxonomy are to teach creative thinking skills, to encourage lateral thinking as well as proactivity , to foster creativity , and to develop students creative talents which can be transferred to the changing challenges faced in everyday life .

  1. Evolutionary taxonomy

    Evolutionary taxonomy , evolutionary systematics or Darwinian classification is a branch of biological classification that seeks to classify organism s using a combination of Phylogenetics phylogenetic relationship and overall similarity. This type of taxonomy considers taxa rather than single species, so that groups of species give rise to new groups. The concept found its current form in the modern evolutionary synthesis of the early 1940s. Evolutionary taxonomy differs from strict pre Darwinian Linnaean taxonomy , which produces orderly lists rather than Phylogenetic tree trees . Also, unlike cladistics cladism which only maps phylogeny, evolutionary taxonomy also offer a biological biological classification classification system . ref name Mayr Bock 2002 While in phylogeny where each taxon must consist of a single ancestral node and all its descendants, evolutionary taxonomy allows for groups to be excluded from their parent taxa e.g. dinosaurs are not considered to include birds, but to have given rise to them , thus allowing for paraphyly paraphyletic taxa. ref name grant2003 citation ... volume 90 issue 9 page 1263 ref Origin of evolutionary taxonomy File Edward Hitchcock Paleontological ... diagrams are a hallmark of evolutionary taxonomy Evolutionary taxonomy arose as a result of Linnaean taxonomy being influenced by the theory of evolution .
