Classification
HomotypicGroupTaxonComparator	This class orders synonyms of a homotypic group, first by Basionym groups (the basionym and all names derived from this basionym) should be kept together in a subgroup The order of the subgroups is defined by the ordering of their basionyms (according to the following ordering) If a name is illegitimate or not does play a role for ordering Names with publication year should always come first Names with no publication year are sorted by rank Names with no publication year and equal rank are sorted alphabetically If 2 names have a replaced synonym relationship the replaced synonym comes first, the replacement name comes later as this reflects the order of publication Details on ordering are explained at http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/ticket/3338
Synonym	The class for synonyms: these are taxa the taxon names of which are not used by the reference to designate a real taxon but are mentioned as taxon names that were oder are used by some other unspecified references to designate (at least to some extent) the same particular real taxon.
SynonymType	The class representing categories of synonyms (like "heterotypic synonym of").

TaxonComparator	This class makes available a method to compare two taxa by comparing the publication dates of the corresponding taxon names.
TaxonNaturalComparator	Comparator to compare taxon nodes by its user defined ordering
TaxonNode
TaxonNodeAgentRelation	This class relates a TaxonNode (Taxon within it's given publication context) to an agent (person or team) and defining a type for this relationship.
TaxonNodeByNameComparator	Comparator that compares two TaxonNode instances by the titleCache of their referenced names.
TaxonNodeByRankAndNameComparator
TaxonRelationship	The class representing a relationship between two ("accepted/correct") taxa.
