classification_object($args)

A classification object represents a mapped interpretation of a name within TNS. Mapped classifications may have varying degrees of precision. Some classifications may be represented solely as hierarchical lists. Other classifications may include synonymy lists while still others may have a higher degree of precision within the synonymy list, qualifying the synonymy with references and indicating the nature of the synonymy.
