2017 IEEE Taxonomy

Version 1.0

Created by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 2017 IEEE Taxonomy

IEEE Taxonomy: A Subset Hierarchical Display of IEEE Thesaurus Terms

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 (in groups 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 2017 IEEE Thesaurus.
