Semantical categorization of the universe can't be done since most concepts have more than one useful tag.
Look at this attempt:

It is not perfect and no attempt can be perfect.

I've no illusions about achieving perfection. In fact, I think that's a common fallacy about the taxonomic approach --even Wikipedia fails here by equating it to "philosophical language". To me its just about utilizing patterns to make a language easier to learn, understand and use.
