The goal of this section is to contribute to a general understanding of diffences between general biology (taxonomy) and domesticated organisms (cultonomy) concerning systematics and nomenclature, and with that as a basis to explain the choises made for the structure of the Culton project.
Taxonomy
We are working on a thorough description of the history and current status of the field. So far this is just a short overview with some links to further reading. >>>
Cultonomy
We are working on a thorough description of the history and current status of the field. So far this is just a short overview with some links to further reading. >>>
Taxo- & cultonomy
The central issues concerning the relationship between taxonomy and cultonomy, and the nomenclatural issues thereof. >>>
New cultonomy: based on crop
The cultonomic theory of Wilbert Hetterscheid and Ronald van den Berg, from which the Culton project uses many concepts, will be described in a separate section. >>>
This content is in development and at the moment restricted to participants
Culton’s approach: taxonomy and cultonomy in parallel
In this section, we describe the choices with regard to systematics and pragmatic needs such a project must make in order to be able to deliver an operational service in the short term, while at the same time keeping the doors open for new theoretical development in the longer term.
The most important take on systematics is that we use both taxonomy and cultonomy in parallel, and a simple way to show the degree of relevance between them in each case. >>>
