The term Taxonomy has been borrowed from biology and describes the hierarchy of life on earth. In Quaestor a Taxonomy is a hierarchic structure of Entities/Objects (see also [wikipedia]).

The Taxonomy-Entity concept is now used as paradigm for the development of all new knowledge systems and provides important benefits, both for the Knowledge Engineer and the users of the knowledge systems. It facilitates the communication between knowledge engineer and users and results in more simple and maintainable solutions. However, please note that it should be seen as an addition to the technology as used for classic applications.
