Not exactly. We translate category to its corresponding "kateg?ria"
pair, and taxonomy to "taxon?mia". This last word is known in library
and academic circles, yet much unknown in the public field. It is not a

system IMHO (do not go into this question, it could be a heated thread,
but we would like to focus on real work done :)
