CLASSIFICATION
The 'CLASSIFICATION' axiom is one of the seven axioms of the Formal IMGT-ONTOLOGY or IMGT-Kaleidoscope [1-3].
The 'CLASSIFICATION' axiom postulates that molecules, cells, organs, organisms or populations and their processes and relations have to be classified. In molecular immunogenetics, the 'CLASSIFICATION' axiom postulates that IG and TR genes have to be named and classified [4,5]. The 'CLASSIFICATION' axiom has generated concepts of classification, for example:
- - the 'Clan' concept
- - the 'Group' concept
- - the 'Subgroup' concept
- - the 'Gene' concept
- - the 'Allele' concept

Describes the IMGT-ONTOLOGY concepts of numerotation at the molecular level, generated from the NUMEROTATION axiom of the Formal IMGT-ONTOLOGY (IMGT-Kaleidoscope). Two major concepts of numerotation, IMGT unique numbering and IMGT Collier de Perles, are used to define the V, C and G type domains. - D1.4 New concepts of "INTERACTION"

Describes IMGT-ONTOLOGY concepts of interaction for the characterization of antigen/receptor and domain interactions. Two major concepts of interaction, pMHC contact site and IMGT Residue@Position, are used, respectively, to define peptide/MHC interactions, and more generally antigen/receptor and domain interactions.
