classifications of the elements and entities which populate the inanimate or living
world.
Certain classifications refer to scientific standards, others to secular practical
knowledge, to popular belief or to practical and utilitarian objectives. It is not easy
to take account of these different points of view, but in principle, it is possible in the
context of the ASW vocabulary of conceptual terms. Thus, the very appellation, the
principles and objectives of a specific classification system can be dealt with, using
the taxonomic domain [Epistemic culture] of the ASW meta-lexicon - a taxonomic
domain which belongs to the branch [Object of value].
