Classification Made Relevant How Scientists Build and Use Classifications and Ontologies
Classification Made Relevant explains how classifications and ontologies are designed, and how they are used to analyze scientific information. It is through our description of the relationships among classes of objects that we are able to simplify knowledge and explore the ways in which individual...
