27 Mar taxonomy

The science of categorizing or classifying things hierarchically. Object-oriented programming techniques use inheritance from classes to subclasses to imitate the fundamentally taxonomical structure of information in the real world and in the mind. Taxonomies are a key component of generalization, a basic human cognitive activity.
