Summary
One paragaph summary which summarises the main ideas of the article.
Description 1
The word comes from the Greek τάξις, taxis (meaning ‘order’, ‘arrangement’) and νόμος, nomos (‘law’ or ‘science’). Taxonomies, or taxonomic schemes, are composed of taxonomic units known as taxa (singular taxon), or kinds of things that are arranged frequently in a hierarchical structure. Typically they are related by subtype–supertype relationships, also called parent–child relationships. In such a subtype–supertype relationship the subtype element has by definition the same constraints as the supertype element plus one or more additional constraints.
