The semantic descriptors are based on the WAB's taxonomy for Wittgenstein's graphics and musical, mathematical and logical notation. The taxonomy was authored by the WAB in cooperation with Michael R. Biggs (graphics and musical notation; see his catalogue in ''Minerva – An Internet Journal of Philosophy'' 2 (1998)), Peter Philipp, Lawrence Goldstein and William T. Boos (mathematical and logical notation) and first published in the ''Bergen Electronic Edition''. | The semantic descriptors are based on the WAB's taxonomy for Wittgenstein's graphics and musical, mathematical and logical notation.

Boos (mathematical and logical notation) and first published in the ''Bergen Electronic Edition''. The scholarly search for meaning in the graphics was conceived as comparable to the search for the meaning of words in a dictionary: first the words are arranged by their form (alphabetically), after which they are presented in context to reveal their use. Thus users of the graphical taxonomy can search for a graphic based on its form, after which it can be viewed in context with the text to determine its use. | ||
