Hello all, I agree with Tony's suggestion to remove 'scientifically'. Should the scope note also refer to 'indexing' or is this covered by the supercalss 'Attribute assignment'? I've recently discussed the distinction between Classification and indexing with Martin and others on the FISH list (see www.fish-forum.info and view the 'recent discussion' discussion list for September). By indexing I mean 'the assignment of terms, often from a controlled vocabulary, to another entity to assist in retrieval or presentation of the indexed information'. I feel this may be a sufficiently distinct action from classification to merit separate mention in the scope note.
