**Hierarchy:** Organize matter into a hierarchical structure based on shared characteristics. > - **Specificity:** Use specific terms to identify unique entities within the hierarchy. > - **Consistency:** Ensure that names and classifications are consistent across different contexts. > - **Comprehensiveness:** Include all known forms of physical matter in the system. > - **Mutually Exclusive:** Define categories such that no entity belongs to more than one category at the same level of the hierarchy. > **Taxonomic Levels:** > - **Kingdom:** Highest level of classification, dividing matter into living and non-living. > - **Domain:** Subcategory of kingdom, further dividing living matter into bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. > - **Phylum:** Group of related classes within a domain. > - **Class:** Group of related orders within a phylum. > - **Order:** Group of related families within a class. > - **Family:** Group of related genera within an order. > - **Genus:** Group of related species within a family. > - **Species:** Lowest level of classification, representing a distinct group of organisms. > **Naming Conventions:** > - **Binomial Nomenclature:** For living organisms, use a two-part name consisting of the genus and species. > -
