Several aspects of problem of classification, a system of classiology and its branch section status

1.            Classification is one of the main elements of man’s thinking. Its roots have been laid in the man’s thinking at biological, subconscious level. To overcome the intuitive component of the research of classification problematics reflection (ideas about ideas) is needed. A great amount of studies on different classification questions is widely published. To make this amount visible seems to be useful.

2.            A great number of questions connected to classification is supposed to be called “classiology” science. The following parts are suggested to be identified in it.

Introduction into the problem.

Preliminary positions (prolegomena). Basic notions and preliminary problematics, which are to be adopted or stated before considering the classification problems are included.

Classiology(s. s.) is subdivided into two part - general questions and systematic part.

In general questions of classiology (s. s.) its basis notions are defined:

1)            class system - classification, science about it - the science of classification;

2)            procedure of class system construction - classifying, the science about it - systematization;

3)            procedure of the referring of the object to one of the system's classes - diagnosis, the science about it - diagnostics;

4)            notion, binding notions 1-3 - classiosystem, science about classiosystems - syncretic classiology (synclassiology).

According to the variety of classiology activities - general, branch and concrete classiology are suggested to be identified. Systematization classiology (s.s.) consists of structures, defined by the titles of the notions.

3.            Geological classiology and biological classiology (biological systematics) are parts of the suggested system of classiology. They are referred to the subdivision “Branch classiology”. These segments are fractally so vast as classiology in general. And they can also be made visible fractally transporting to them the structure of the system of classiology as a whole.
