I've cited Linnaeus' efforts as one of the earlier information architecture
exercises in history several times here. Given the circumstances under which
he established his namespace schema, the task remains a monumental
accomplishment of foresight that stood the test of time. Imagine being asked
to design a web site with a lifecycle expectation of 250 years!
