Shortcomings of this taxonomy for data set (if any)

I thought this data set did a great job of detailing the medical condition of these soldiers. In my opinion, the only thing that could have improved is more information about the identify of the soldiers should have been communicated.

Notes about the image you chose

My image is one of the pages from B.W. Allen's daily report book. This page was written on February 2nd, 1864 and it details the medical condition of 4 soldiers from the Civil War. Although it is hard to read, I can infer that the soldiers had different medical issues.
