Knowledge Catalog - Category Hierarchy

This appendix provides a list of all the concepts in the knowledge catalog that serve as categories.

The appendix is divided into six sections, corresponding to the six main branches of the knowledge catalog:

- Branch 1: science and technology

- Branch 2: business and economics

- Branch 3: government and military

- Branch 4: social environment

- Branch 5: geography

- Branch 6: abstract ideas and concepts

The categories are presented in an inverted-tree hierarchy and within each category, sub-categories are listed in alphabetical order.

Note: This appendix does not contain all the concepts found in the knowledge catalog. It only contains those concepts that serve as categories (meaning they are parent nodes in the hierarchy).

See Also: For more information about categories and concepts in the knowledge catalog, see "Knowledge Catalog"section in Chapter 7, "ConText Linguistics".
