Aristotle was known as the great classifier, since he organized the world in categories of all sorts. To be more specific, he categorized all things perceivable to man into 10 categories: substance, quantity, qualification, relation, place, time, posture, state, action, and affection. All these are objects or things in the world that can be related to each other by virtue of some of the categories.
Carl Linneaus invented the binomial nomenclature, which is the system of naming all living things using two latin words, e.g. homo sapiens. The first word denotes the species, the second word the subspecies within that species.
So, they both created one system that was to encompass the entire world, whereas Aristotle's categories are slightly more abstract, Linneaus' are very concrete.
