Taxonomy (general) is the practice and science of classification of things or concepts, including the principles that underlie such classification. The term may also refer to a specific classification scheme. Originally used only about biological classification, taxonomy has developed to be a synonym for classification (see Classification (general theory)).

The term classification can apply to one or all of:

• the process of classifying (distinguishing and distribution kinds of "things" into different groups)
• a resulting set of classes
• the assignment of elements to pre-established classes

Classifying - in the broad meaning given above - is a fundamental concept and a part of almost all kinds of activities.

Classification itself is an interdisciplinary field of study. Important contributing disciplines include philosophy, biology, knowledge organization, psychology, statistics and mathematics.
