The following explains how to approach the graphical representations:

• There is always a two-level deep view from the root figure.
• Due to the structure of this taxonomy, it may take more than one figure to provide a complete two-level deep view.
• If further expansion of the taxonomy is needed (i.e., there is more detail at subordinate levels), the first level is marked with a number in a shaded box located in the lower, right-hand corner. That level is then further expanded (and rotated 90 degrees) in Figure X where X corresponds to the number that the level is marked with.
• You can display a list of technology descriptions categorized at a particular level of the taxonomy. Move to the appropriate figure (1-8), and use your mouse to select the taxonomy term of interest. The list of descriptions is then displayed in the lower frame of this document.
