	Scientific classification
		Scientific classification refers to how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms.
		Scientific classification belongs to the science of taxonomy or biological systematics.
		Advances in classification due to the work of entomologists and the first microscopists is due to the research of people like Marcello Malpighi (1628 - 1694), Jan Swammerdam (1637 - 1680), and Robert Hooke (1635 - 1702).

	Classification - MSN Encarta
		Classification, in biology, identification, naming, and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities such as internal and external anatomy, physiological functions, genetic makeup, or evolutionary history.
		In the classification of animals, bacteria, protists (unicellular organisms, such as amoebas, with characteristics of both plants and animals), and fungi, classes are grouped into phyla (see Phylum), while plant classes are grouped into divisions.
		Classification is one of the oldest sciences, but despite its age it is still a vigorous field full of new discoveries and methods.

		Scientific classification refers to how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms.
		Modern classification has its roots in the system of Carl Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics.
		It also differs also from classification based on ad hoc "key characters." Cladists avail themselves of all the types of evidence available, including DNA sequences and hybridization studies, biochemistry, and traditional morphology.

	Scientific classification
		This convention is now referred to as binomial nomenclature, and the name formed from the two parts is known as the scientific name of a species.
		Meanwhile, at the top of the hierarchy of classification, there has movement towards a three domain system.
		This approach differs from that of phenetics, which does not address ancestry and associates species based on overall similarity, and it differs also from classification based on ad hoc "key characters." Cladists avail themselves of all types of information available, including DNA sequences and hybridization studies, biochemistry, and traditional morphology.

		Modern classifications are based on more microscopic structural and biochemical characteristics, as well as on presumed evolutionary relationships among the organisms.

	Irreal (Re)views 1: Defining Irrealism: Scientific Development and Allegorical Possibility by Dean Swinford
		In narratological classification, as in scientific classification, works are grouped according to a significant number of shared features or characteristics.
		While scientists may be more assured about the validity of classification, literary theorists are perhaps more adept at recognizing new species upon their initial mutations, at the moment they distinguish themselves, whether through extra limbs or multicolored markings or imposing chelicerae, from whatever else used to wriggle through the decaying leaves lining the forest floor.
		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.

		Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms.
		The next major advance in developing scientific classification was made by the Swiss professor, Conrad von Gesner (1516–1565).
		For a scientific name to be correctly written, the genus name must be capitalized, the species epithet must be in lower case and an author label and publication details have to be added.

		Modern scientific taxonomy is based on physical characteristics (such as teeth, skin, fur, feather, or scale patterns, size, or the structure of body parts) and on genetic characteristics.
		Scientific names represent biological relationships and are assigned to animals after careful study of each species.
		To reduce this confusion, lists of scientific and common names and field guides such as those sponsored by The Audubon Society or published in the Peterson Field Guides series include scientific names to indicate the animal's scientific classification as well as common names.

	Scientific Classification of Living Organisms and Naming Effects
		The amount and type of information that separates the other levels of classification varies widely, and occasionally the more specific level does not divide the more general level at all (i.e., all members of the more general level are also members of the more specific level).
		The latter classification suggests that if two organisms have a high enough level of genetic or morphological similarity, they should share a species, not genus; by these measures, the dingo is very similar to dogs and more similar to dogs than wolves.
		However, the former classification suggests the split is made along behavioral or familiarity lines, since although both the dingo and wolf can interbreed with dogs, the usual distinction of species, the domesticated behavior and familiar presence of dogs sets them apart from their canine relatives.

	Security Classification of Information, volume 2 (Quist), Chapter Seven
		The appropriate classification level would be expected to usually be determined by the information disclosure risks because those risks largely determine the magnitude of the net damage that could be caused by such disclosure.
		The higher percentage of original classification decisions at the Confidential level, as compared with the percentage of derivative classification decisions at that level, is attributed to the fact that the Department of State treats all of its classification decisions as original and classifies most of these (80%) at the Confidential level [ibid., p.
		The Task Force was inclined to the view that the classification category [sic] of "Confidential," as applied at present to research and development not bearing immediately on field problems of military interest, is probably useless, or even detrimental, for it prevents normal diffusion of information without providing a really effective barrier to leaks.
