2009 IEEE Taxonomy
The IEEE Taxonomy comprises the first three hierarchical 'levels' under each term-family (or branch)
that is formed from the top-most terms of the IEEE Thesaurus. In this document these term-families
are arranged alphabetically and denoted by boldface type. Each term family's hierarchy goes to no
more than three sublevels, denoted by indents (grouping of four dots) preceding the next level terms.
A term can appear in more than one hierarchical branch and can appear more than once in any
particular hierarchy. The IEEE Taxonomy is defined in this way so that it is always a subset of the IEEE
Thesaurus.
