Semantics

providing meaning to concepts

When Taxonomy and Ontonomy is too abstract, meaning is what is needed. Boxary features a Choreography that makes sense.

Lets look at Food as example. The concept Burger and the taxonomy Cuisine.

  • Burgers: veggieBurger, hamBurger, homemadeBurger
  • Cuisine: French Cuisine, International Cuisine, Haute Cuisine

A Burger has a Recipe and Ingredients.
While a veggieBurger lacks Meat(s), the hamBurger does not exist in the taxon French Cuisine.
When consulting a Menu in the restaurant, the Burgers could be listed as Concepts or as Taxonomy. And if Recipe's would feed a cooking App that f.i. extends with Meal Presentation Rules (plate, colours, etiquette), well, you get it: there is a Choreography.
