Abstract
The logical model for taxonomic hierarchies given in [ 1] is here generalized to cover systems in which taxa may overlap. From the more general model is derived a theoretical framework within which numerical methods for the construction of such systems may be discussed. A particular numerical method is shown to be the simplest satisfying certain necessary constraints and its application is illustrated by means of an artificial example.
