The following is a list of objects found in a kitchen: teapot, mug, soup bowl, plate, spoon, table knife, cook's knife, fork, saucepan, frying pan, kettle, casserole, fish slice, tin opener, baking tray, scales, mixing bowl, glasses, jugs, corkscrew, rolling pin, ladle, egg cup, chopping board. Produce a taxonomy using the TDH notation of these objects. Does it obey the TAKD uniqueness rule?

taxonomy is the scientific study of naming, defining and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics.

Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals and microorganisms of the world.

taxonomy, in a broad sense the science of classification, but more strictly the classification of living and extinct organisms—i.e., biological classification. The term is derived from the Greek taxis (“arrangement”) and nomos (“law”).

An example of taxonomy is the way living beings are divided up into Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. An example of taxonomy is the Dewey Decimal system - the way libraries classify non-fiction books by division and subdivisions.

taxon, plural Taxa, any unit used in the science of biological classification, or taxonomy. Taxa are arranged in a hierarchy from kingdom to subspecies, a given taxon ordinarily including several taxa of lower rank.

Explanation
it helps us categorize organisms so we can more easily communicate biological information. Taxonomy uses hierarchical classification as a way to help scientists understand and organize the diversity of life on our planet.

Taxonomic evidences are the characters (attributes) gathered from a variety of disciplines. Most of these characters are used in describing patterns of variations at or below the species level.

Modern taxonomy takes into consideration all the aspects of organisms apart from morphological characteristics such as genetic constituents, cellular structure, phylogenetic relationship, mode of nutrition, reproduction, etc. Modern taxonomic advancement includes cytotaxonomy, numerical taxonomy and chemotaxonomy.

 

The following is a list of objects found in one of the authors’ kitchens: teapot, mug, soup bowl, plate, spoon, table knife, cook’s knife, fork, saucepan, frying pan, kettle, casserole, fish slice, tin opener, baking tray, scales, mixing bowl, glasses, jugs, corkscrew, rolling pin, ladle, egg cup, chopping board Produce a taxonomy using the TDH notation of these objects.

As the authors had already produced a partial taxonomy, we interviewed two domain experts (cooks). They were asked to describe how they would group and classify the kitchen items. They were explicitly told (and reminded) that they could have multiple classifications and put the same item into several categories. 

The authors then cast their answers into TDH notation.
One of the subjects was a doctor and used to medical taxonomies of disease. Despite stressing the looseness of the classifications, he insisted on a complete taxonomic tree
