“…A definition of chemical, structural, and chemical–structural mineral varieties developed by Bulakh (2008, 2010) had been mentioned by Rogers (1913) and later by Povarennykh (1972). Bulakh (2008) defined a system of taxons where minerals are subdivided into subspecies and varieties according to their composition and structure. Recently, a taxonomy for anthropotype or human-mediated mineral-like compounds and a taxonomy of historical mineral kinds has been proposed (Hazen et al , 2017; Hazen, 2019; Clelend et al , 2021).…”

The categorisation of minerals and their related names, such as synonyms, obsolete or historical names, varieties or mixtures, is an asset for designing an interoperable and consistent mineralogical data warehouse. An enormous amount of this data, provided by mindat.org and other resources, was reviewed and analysed during the research. The analysis indicates the existence of several categories of (1) the abstract titles or designations representing the link to the original material or a group of names or substances without actual physical representation, and (2) the unique names representing actual physical material, compounds, or an aggregate of one or more minerals. A revision of the dependency between the categories attributes stored in a database (chemical properties, physical properties, etc.) and their classification status assigned allowed for designing a robust prototype for maintaining the database integrity and consistency. The proposed scheme allows standardising and structuring of officially regulated and maintained species, e.g. IMAapproved, and by no means unregulated ones.

“…OF MINERAL SPECIES In our system of taxons, mineral species are subdi vided into subspecies and varieties according to special features of chemical composition and mineral struc ture or both of them simultaneously (Bulakh, 1975;Bulakh et al, 2008;Wenk and Bulakh, 2004). The idea of subdivision of mineral species into subspecies and varieties was put forward by Povarenykh (1966); how ever, in his paper the sense of taxons was different.…”
