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.
