This is a definition of terms satisfactory for his needs, rather than a
vocabulary (of any sort) for biological taxonomy, although I will admit that
I am not entirely sure what this "biological taxonomy" may be.

As these are all locally defined terms (usable only for the specified
purpose), it looks to me that if there is a need for
"The fifth highest level of classification [recognized here]" it would
better to call this biol:fifthLevelClassification, so as to avoid confusion?
