The classification scheme formalism represents in a uniform manner both usual data types and structured objects is introduced. It is here provided with a dissimilarity measure which only takes into account the structure of a given domain: a partial order over a set of classes. The measure we define compares a couple of individuals according to their mutual position within the taxonomy structuring the underlying domain. It is then used to design a classification algorithm to work on structured objects.
