			== note ==

			It's worth noting that headings in a taxonomy are never perfect; they are intended as aids for retrieval, and will be shaped over time as a field grows and changes.

			# headings should be distinct - documents may come under more than one heading - and maybe even require a new sub heading.
			# the organisation and order of headings is arbitrary and often flawed, but remember these are just aids for retrieval, they don't define the field. Try to think like an undergraduate (who knows nothing about InfoVis) when making changes.
			# ideally this will be a tool used by catalogers(librarians) and publishers to help readers find works in InfoVis. They may only have a passing knowledge of the field.
