- A division within a system of classification.
- Any of several fundamental and distinct classes to which entities or concepts belong. Reference: Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary 2004 v.3.1 electronic edition. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/category

extension proposal (FL, 2018-05-15):
- add category as defined in philosophy, as "highest kind of genera", cf. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/categories/
- add category as defined in (mathematical) category theory (e.g., a foundation of the Distributed Ontology Language), cf. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/category-theory/
