A taxonomy control is used for an appliance (12) having a software component (16B) configured to perform a cycle of operation on a physical article and for a controlling device (16, 22) for the appliance (12). The controlling device (16, 22) comprises a dataset defining taxonomy capabilities derived from the operational capabilities of the controlling device (16, 22) for at least one state, and a taxonomy operator to operate on the dataset. The controlling device (16, 22) can create well-formed commands that can be executed by the appliance (12) in a state without need for a variant of the software component (16B) in the controlling device (16, 22). |
