Concept Domain

Concept domain groups the ideas behind transport, such as propulsion, guidance and logistics, by the broad field each idea belongs to. Wikipedia describes a concept as "a fundamental unit of cognition that classifies entities and encodes shared features," and grouping by domain shows which wider area of thinking a given transport idea comes from. Browsing this way lets a visitor compare related concepts side by side instead of meeting each one alone.
