We develop a taxonomy of different behavioral specification theories and expose their algebraic properties. We start by clarifying what precisely constitutes a behavioral specification theory and then introduce logical and structural operations and develop the resulting algebraic properties. In order to motivate our developments, we give plenty of examples of behavioral specification theories with different operations.
