Definition

Collections of things or people organized together into groups, or the act of arranging things into groups.

Kelly Says

Taxonomists and librarians rely on groupings to make sense of chaos—the entire modern internet, with its categories and tags, exists because humans are obsessed with organizing things into meaningful clusters.
