hierarchical system
n. A classification scheme that includes headings that may be subdivided as necessary for greater granularity.Notes
A hierarchical system can keep related subjects together rather than dispersing them throughout the alphabet. For example, a hierarchy of pets, subdivided into cats and dogs, would group Persian, Siamese, and tabby cats separately from golden retriever, greyhound, and poodle dogs.-
