Extractions: Fax: 202.334.2725 Revised 7/28/06 View the Taxonomy List In any assessment of doctoral programs, a key question is: Which programs should be included? 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? 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.
DelphiGroup.com - Coverage - Taxonomy
Examines software segment for taxonomy management.
http://www.delphigroup.com/coverage/taxonomy.htm

Extractions: Coverage: Introduction BPM/Web Services Content / Document Management e-Business and Collaborative Commerce ... Portals Taxonomy Security Cataloguing unstructured information is a chronic problem for every organization. Following boom after boom of software for creating information - from Word Processing to Web Publishing - we today have far more resources focused on the generation of content than on the ability to effectively utilize it. Lack of information is no longer the problem - but lack of time to correlate, categorize, analyze and act on the information is a business critical issue. Delphi Group has defined the emerging software segment for taxonomy management and set the benchmark for advisory services to combat problem of "infoglut" through its groundbreaking educational forums, consulting methods, and research. Featured Content: Taxonomy software can reduce our reaction time to make informed and timely business decisions based on knowledge and information contained within the unstructured data of an organization's digital documents. This software helps us form ideas from information we didn't know we had while revealing relationships and correlations that were submerged or lost in the depths of the ocean of information overload.

http://groups.drupal.org/node/13355

Extractions: Search this site: Submitted by catch on Tue, 2008-07-22 11:03 taxonomy I think it's time taxonomy module got some more love in core. 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. 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:

http://www.101science.com/Taxonomy.htm

Extractions: 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 - Simple English Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
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.
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy

Extractions: 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:

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

Extractions: 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.

TreeMap

Extractions: TreeMap is an experimental program for comparing host and parasite trees. It is available for both Windows and Apple Macs. by Michael Charleston and Roderic Page for for Mac OS is available from Mike's web site (click on the link for software). 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. 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.

TreeView
Simple program for displaying phylogenies.
http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/treeview.html

Extractions: Tree drawing software for Apple Macintosh and Windows (and now Linux and Unix TreeView is a simple program for displaying phylogenies on Apple Macintosh and Windows PCs. It has the following features: TreeView provides a simple way to view the contents of a NEXUS, PHYLIP, Hennig86, Clustal, or other format tree file. 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.
