Unfortunately, taxonomies are often underspecified, limiting their utility in contexts such as data integration, information navigation and autonomous agent communication. This work formalizes taxonomies and relationships between them as formulas in logic. This formalization concretizes notions such as consistency and inconsistency of taxonomies and articulations (inter-taxonomic relations) between them, enables the derivation of new articulations based on a given set of taxonomies and articulations and provides a framework for testing assumptions about underspecified taxonomies. %@ 978-1-59593-968-5
