 | | Modern classification is part of the broader science of taxonomy, the study of the relationships of organisms, which includes collection, preservation, and study of specimens, and analysis of data provided by various areas of biological research. | | | Before the idea of evolution there was no impetus to show more meaningful relationships among species; the species was thought to be uniquely created and fixed in character, the only real, or natural, taxon, while the higher taxa were regarded as artificial means of organizing information. | | | Although comparative anatomy remained of foremost importance, other evidence of relationship was sought as well. |

| | Group Classification on National ID Cards - Jim Fussell - 15 Nov 2001 |
| | Such classification schemes treat group difference in overly simplified ways treating group identity as an unchanging constant not subject to ongoing changes in society. | | | The ramifications of this form of classification for individual persons should cause the practice to become a matter of international concern. | | | The effect of policies which apply group classifications upon individuals is to make group identity more rigid and to make one form of societal affiliation excessively prominent (usually religion or ethnicity), highlighting that particular area of difference above others, such as regional or local identity, social class or others. |

| | Although the Classification’s overall structure has been quite stable, it is important to recognize that category definitions have changed. | | | Second, selectivity is frequently used by researchers as a proxy for institutional “quality” and its usage may reinforce perceptions that the Classification makes quality distinctions among institutions. | | | It is often necessary to strike a compromise between a concept of interest (e.g., liberal arts emphasis) and the way the concept can be operationalized using national data (proportion of graduates majoring in selected fields). |

| | A client must call the setValue method on a Classification and define a unique value that logically represents a taxonomy element within the taxonomy whose structure is defined externally. | | | It is necessary for the client call setClassificationScheme for external Classifications since there is no other way to infer the ClassificationScheme that represents the external taxonomy. | | | However, this time the structure of the NAICS taxonomy is not available internally to the JAXR provider and consequently there is no Concept instance. |
