An analysis has been performed of several classifications for an extensive interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology. Objective difficulties have been identified in compiling a priori categorization of subject domain due to the increased volume of information flow in combination with the permanent emergence of new concepts and objects. The concept of a semistructured (dynamic) subject catalogue is proposed, which is borrowed from the database technology and is characterized by a variable and a priori unknown structure.
