However, it was later adopted by computer science to form the basis of a number of structured programming languages, such as Pascal. There's another post in this somewhere... - Keith. Lucas -

I would think that the number of KM taxonomists is increasing all the time -- but apparently it's the opposite in the sciences. Strange how one group invents something, and it's adopted by another group and used to its advantage. Maybe the sciences can start recruiting taxonomists from the corporate world... ;) Interesting.
