Jeff,
...the basic... in the sense of lower cognitive operations, following the
WordNet division of mental processes as higher cognitive operations and
basic (lower) cognitive processes.
As far as the classification is about partitioning world/things into
categories and classes, so often identified with ontology, it should belong
to the higher level at least.
