Classification

Lynn Foster requested to merge classification into master

I'm working on clarifying the naming and concepts in the abstract/recipe layer (which I also renamed in the picture). It has become more clear (from some experience with FairCoop and Mutual Aid Network) that we will want to support many kinds of data structures for people to classify their resources, processes, etc. The term "taxonomy item" is limiting, because to people who work with taxonomies, it means "part of a tree", and most other people don't know what it is, so it is a bit intimidating. People have lots of opinions and about how to classify things, and at this moment I'm looking for a neutral word that can fit into however people want to do it, or just do do it already.

Bob suggested "classification", which seems pretty good to me. If anyone has a better general term, please suggest it.

I didn't fill in any of the recipe structure yet, just some of the base classifications.
