Summary

There are several loosely defined or implied typologies or taxonomies of identities in the literature. In order to facilitate the construction of taxonomies, it is necessary to establish first an inventory of empirical entities from which to build the taxonomy. The objective of this section is to build such an inventory.

The more exhaustive this inventory will be, the more exhaustive will be the taxonomies based upon it. Thus, in order to privilege exhaustivity over consistency, this inventory is not composed of mutually exclusive classes . Overlaps shall but overlaps should be documented to facilitate the analysis of the inventory.

In view of the number of documented empirical entities, the inventory could not possibly be exhaustive but at least it should become representative of this wide variety.

To privilege concision and readability, definitions are provided via dictionary entries under the References column.
