In many fields of science and practice large amounts of data and informationare collected for analyzing and visualizing latent structures as orderings or classifications for example. This volume presents refereed and revised
versions of 52 papers selected from the contributions of the 16th AnnualConference of the German Classification Society . The papers are organized in three major sections on Data Analysis and Classification (1), InformationRetrieval, Knowledge Processing and Software (2), Applications

and Special Topics (3). Moreover, the papers were grouped and ordered
within the major sections. So, in the first section we find papers on

Classification Methods, Fuzzy Classification, Multidimensional Scaling,

Discriminant Analysis and Conceptual Analysis. The second

section contains papers on Neural Networks and Computational Linguisticsin addition to the mentioned fields. An essential part of the third section attends to Sequence Data and Tree Reconstruction as well as Data Analysis
and Informatics in Medicine. As special topics the volume presents

applications in Thesauri, Archaeology, Musical Science and Psychometrics.
