This vocabulary for CRTS was built primarily by Andrew Drake from 
experience of classifying 100's of events from the CRTS survey. See 
http://crts.caltech.edu/ for examples.

Stuart Chalmers and Norman Gray have already started formalizing this 
into a framework, at:
http://vocabularies.referata.com/wiki/Category:CRTS

The terms in the vocabulary are:
Cataclysmic Variable, Supernova, Blazar Outburst, Active Galactic 
Nucleus Variability, UVCeti Variable, Asteroid, Variable, Mira Variable, 
High Proper Motion Star, Comet, Eclipsing Variable, Gamma Ray Burst 
Afterglow, Microlensing, Nova, Planetary Microlensing, RRLyrae Variable, 
Tidal Disruption Flare
