The present paper is concerned with classification of 'intangibles' and what classification theory can teach us about a 'good classification'.
In considering the practices of one group in particular, we try to show how, for members, the technical problems of determining what classification structure is appropriate, and what its boundaries might be, depend substantially on assumptions about the 'community' and its interests and purposes.
The number and identities of metalloids depend on what classification criteria are used.
What classification algorithms are applied?
Integration of other types of information will determine what classifications can additionally be used.
What classifications are there?
The analysis presented here allows us to examine, out of academic interest, what the classification of bipartite begomoviruses would be if it were based solely on the DNA-B component (Table 2).
It is hard to predict what impact on classification of SERMs would TGFα have, being just one gene out of 588 cDNA spotted on the arrays, but because the expression of TGFα in all membranes was at background levels, it was not considered at all.
Since there is no language-independent meaning of "Gavagai" or any other expression, there is no determinate classification of what exists, only ontological relativity: what a theory says exists is relative to the manual of translation it uses.
"The ultimate goal," Dr. Greenberg said in concluding his 1987 book "Language in the Americas" (Stanford University Press), "is a comprehensive classification of what is very likely a single language family.
