The task of constructing taxonomy of programs is to provide a framework for the analysis of research-doctorate programs as they exist today, with an eye to the future. A secondary question is: Which programs should be grouped together across universities for purposes of comparison and what names should be given to these aggregations? CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION View the Taxonomy List with Sub-Fields We recognize that scholarship and research in interdisciplinary fields have grown significantly since the last study. Some of this work is multidisciplinary; some is cross disciplinary or interdisciplinary. We could not devise a single standard for all possible combinations. Where possible, we have attempted to include acknowledged interdisciplinary fields such as Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, and American Studies. In other instances, we listed areas as emerging fields. Our goal remains to identify and evaluate inter-, multi-, and cross-disciplinary fields. Once they become established scholarly areas and meet the threshold for inclusion in the study established by this and future committees, they will be added to the list.

Taxonomy, another name for categories, are defined in groups of vocabularies and can be assigned to any or all content types. When creating content, you have the options to enable hierarchical tagging, multiple keyword tagging, or free tagging. The categories you create in your vocabularies should reflect the main targeted keywords for the overall theme for your website optimization . Taxonomy is included in Drupal’s core and is enabled by default. To set up your categories, navigate to Administer > Content Management > Categories > Add Vocabulary.

Drag and drop etc. was nice to get in D6, but there's much more we could do. Also I keep seeing various taxonomy administration helper modules cropping up - which is good, but there's no core patches cropping up alongside them, which is a shame, so I'm starting this in the hope of generating some discussion about things we could do this release cycle. There's three obvious areas where Taxonomy could use some help. Administration: Merging terms. Moving terms between vocabularies. Mass operations (delete, edit). Editing individual terms quickly Administration of large vocabularies Mass addition of terms (the quickest way to add them at the moment is free tagging at node/add) Cleaning up old crappy terms and preventing creation of new ones. There are modules which deal with some or all of these, but some of them have serious UI issues (i.e. taxonomy_switch) and it's often necessary to install 4-5 different modules on one site if you need people without db access to manage large numbers of terms. User interface: Apart from administration, the biggest problem IMO is mile long select lists:

29. Glossary A short glossary explaining some of the terms used in taxonomy. From a site on scale insects. http://www.sel.barc.usda.gov/scalenet/glossary.htm

Glossary Terms Pertaining to Zoological Nomenclature Allotype A specimen designated from the type series that is the opposite sex of the holotype. Available name A name that is correctly proposed according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. An available name is not necessarily the valid name. Category Any rank within the classification hierarchy, e.g., family, subfamily, subspecies. Change of rank When a name is moved from one level of the classification system to another, e.g., when De Lotto (1955) moved Ceroplastes destructor brevicauda from the subspecies to the species rank C. brevicauda this was a change of rank. Classification A system of nested hierarchical categories used to efficiently store information about the diversity of life. Classify To place a taxon in a classification system. Cotypes A term no longer recognized in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; synonymous with syntypes. Emendation An intentional change to a previously proposed name, e.g., Lindinger proposed the emendation Hemiberlesea for the armored scale Hemiberlesia indicating that it was originally improperly formed.

Taxonomy classification introduction and tutorial: Excerpts highlighted in yellow from: " Microsoft� Encarta� Online Encyclopedia 2000 http://encarta.msn.com � 1997-2000 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Taxonomy, science of classifying organisms. Probably the first scientific study of plants was the attempt to classify them. At first, because of the limited knowledge of plant structures, artificial classifications, beginning with the most ancient one into herbs, shrubs, and trees, were necessary. These simple categories merely cataloged, in a tentative way, the rapidly accumulating material, in preparation for a classification based on natural relationships. Modern taxonomic classification, based on the natural concepts and system of the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus , has progressed steadily since the 18th century, modified by advances in knowledge of morphology, evolution, and genetics.

Taxonomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Taxonomy is a science . It is about the classification of all things living. Although it is most commonly used in biology, it can be used in other types of classification too. Taxonomy is used with different ranks , the lowest is a species . There can also be sub-species. An organism is a species if two organisms of the same kind can mate . This name is the scientific classification of that species. The name is the same all over the world, so that when scientists from different places talk or write about the living thing, they can understand each other. The highest rank in the domain of living things is the Kingdom . Each kingdom has many smaller groups in it, called Phyla : see List of animal phyla . Each Phylum has more smaller groups in it, called Classes . This pattern looks like branches on a tree with smaller branches growing from them. Each species is put into a group because of what it does, how and what it eats, special body parts, and so on. At the end of the pattern, the groups ( Genera ) are very small. Then each species in the Genus is given its own name. When someone writes about a living thing and uses this name, they only write the Genus name and the species name, like this:

35. ECBOL.org : European Consortium For The Barcode Of Life Project for DNA barcoding from a European perspective. List of European research institutes and researchers involved. Importance of DNA barcoding for taxonomy, the science of categorizing life forms. http://www.ecbol.org

ECBOL.org Welcome! What is ECBOL.org? What is DNA Barcoding? ... Get involved in iBOL now! Welcome! A new European infrastructure is urgently needed to firmly link names and thus all information to a rapidly developing new standard in biology:  the identification of species via DNA sequence signatures, a process known as “DNA barcoding”.   Although DNA sequence-based species identification has been utilized previously in connection with phylogenetic studies such as Assembling the Tree of Life (ATOL), the development that has made DNA barcoding (of just one or two standardized gene loci per organism) an emerging gold-standard for species recognition has been very recent, with the first publication in 2003 (Hebert et al . 2003), the setting up of the master international Consortium for the Barcoding of Life (CBOL) courtesy of a USD 2 million grant from the Sloan Foundation in 2004, and the first European-based conference at London’s Natural History Museum in March, 2005. This development has already shown itself to have unprecedented power for clarifying species identities and limits, uncovering new and often cryptic species, and allowing species identification of difficult specimens such as larvae, seeds, tissue fragments, sterile mycelia and fossils. At the same time, however, it has also cast doubt on the identity of all morphologically identified materials, including the collected biological type, authentic and voucher specimens that anchor the meaningful usage of all biological names and thus all biological information. Furthermore, barcoding often reveals cryptic species that even specialist morphotaxonomists cannot reliably identify.

Response to Ashley Dowling's critique of TreeMap in Cladistics TreeMap versus BPA (again): A response to Dowling. Roderic D. M. Page and Michael A Charleston . Technical Reports in Taxonomy 02-02. Warning: TreeMap 1.0 has bugs in the randomisation test! 4 July 2000 There are two bugs in the randomisation routine in TreeMap, which have surfaced as a result of papers presented at the recent Glasgow meeting on host-parasite cospeciation in August 1999, and a workshop I gave at Sydney in June 2000. Because much of the tree and interface code libraries used by TreeMap are shared with other programs (such as TreeView ) and have changed dramatically in the five years since TreeMap was written, it has been difficult to create a stop-gap release with these bugs fixed. A new version of TreeMap is currently being developed, which will fix the randomisation bugs. This version uses a completely different (and better) algorithm for reconstructing the history of host-parasite assemblages ("jungles"). Until TreeMap 2 is released, please interpret the results of TreeMap 1.0 statistical tests with great caution.

While PAUP and MacClade have excellent tree printing facilities, there may be times you just want to view the trees without having to load the data set they were generated from. The PHYLIP package contains tree drawing programs which offer a greater variety of trees than TreeView, but are somewhat clumsy to use. The forthcoming PAUP* for Windows does not have a graphical interface, hence TreeView allows you to create publication quality trees from PAUP files, either directly, or by generating graphics files for editing by other programs.
