 Irreal (Re)views 1: Defining Irrealism: Scientific Development and Allegorical Possibility by Dean Swinford
While the subjectivity of classification has curtailed recent literary investigation into genre, to the extent that, in some quarters, genre studies are regarded as disreputable, scientific taxonomy continues.
Though Calvino connects all these characters through the point of view of a single character, each is concerned with classification, with individuation.
However, the shortcomings of classification reveal the attraction and validity of attempts to define Irrealism as a prominent mode of expression characteristic of the postmodern.

 Subject Classifications in the Scientific and Overall Digital World
Historically, subject classifications for documents owe their main monohierarchical, that is tree-like, structure to a consolidated habit in shelving and retrieving material documents in libraries, where a fixed space is definitively, or almost permanently, divided in sections and subsections, and relocating is expensive, given that a material object cannot be simultaneously in different material places.
Classifications evolve too, as objects' clothes (topical classifications) or description structures (object classifications), through different versions that come in use subsequently, according to different perceptions, or awareness, of objects and their environments, or to changes in tools and techniques for representing them, and for managing such representations.
A single version of a classification offers a snapshot of a system of objects; a sound knowledge of objects, in their intrinsically changing nature and in their changing contexts, can be acquired by looking through classifications which refer to them, provided that a comprehensive follow-up of versions is observed.

 Articles - Dog
It has also been noted that extremely stressful conditions, such as the Iditarod race and scientific studies of similar conditions, suggest that high-protein diets including meat help prevent damage to muscle tissue.
The classification in the Order Carnivora does not necessarily mean that a dog's diet must be restricted to meat.
This article is about the domestic dog; for other senses of the word "dog", see dog (disambiguation).

 Articles - Gray Wolf
This increased awareness exposed the beneficial nature of wolves, and helped lead to their eventual endangered classification and subsequent reintroduction efforts.
Carolus Linnaeus gave the wolf the scientific name Canis lupus in the 18th century.
However, molecular systematics now indicate very strongly that domestic dogs and wolves are more closely related than either is to any other canid, and the domestic dog is now normally classified as a subspecies of the wolf: Canis lupus familiaris.

This is because the characteristics that are popularly used to distinguish frogs from toads are not quite the same as those used for scientific classification.
However, a number of species in other families of Amphibia are commonly referred to as toads.
The type species of the family Bufonidae is the Common Toad, Bufo bufo, and around it cluster a large number of species of the same genus, and some smaller genera.

 Homonyms and definitions for English words
In scientific classification, homonyms are scientific names that are identical but pertain to different organisms.
The rule of scientific nomenclature is that the first name to be published is valid (the senior homonym); any others are junior homonyms and must be replaced with new names.
See also polysemy for a closely related idea.

 Articles - Albatross
Though there was a case for the simplification of the family (particularly the nomenclature), the classification was pretty much the same as suggested by Elliott Coues in 1866, paid little attention to more recent studies and even ignored some of Coues's suggestions.
By 1965, in an attempt to bring some order back to the classification of albatrosses they were lumped into two genera, Phoebetria (the 'primitive' sooty albatrosses which most closely seemed to resemble the procellarids) and Diomedea (the rest)
More recent research by Gary Nunn of the American Museum of Natural History (1996) and other researchers around the world studied the mitochondrial DNA of all the 14 accepted species, finding that there were four, not two, monophyletic groups within the albatrosses
