An ordered network of concepts or objects in which some are subordinate to others. Hierarchies occur in biological taxonomies and corporate organizational charts. Hierarchies ordinarily imply inheritance; and, thus, objects or concepts higher in the organization "contain" the objects or concepts that were beneath them. "Tangled hierarchies" occur when more than one higher-level entity inherits characteristics from a single lower-level entity. 2, record 2, English, - concept%20hierarchy
