In the domain of biological classification, classifications are performed hierarchically. There are no standard classifications which are unanimously accepted by the community of each domain; many different interacting views of classification exist about the same data, and the discovery of new data results in changes to the existing classification. Even a single individual may change his or her own classification of a particular group. Since multiple classification views interact, they are semantically related. It is difficult to model this kind of dynamically evolving and semantically interacting classification system using traditional data models, which lack the structural flexibility necessary to support dynamic views of hierarchic classifications, and cannot properly capture the history of these complex interactions. We have developed a new data model which is suitable for supporting semantically interacting dynamic views of hierarchic biological classifications. On the basis of our new data model we have developed a prototype database system called HICLAS (HIerarchical CLAssification System); its domain is plant taxonomy. HICLAS is available through the Internet and an X-window interface has been implemented to support queries to classification data.
