StatisticalClassification

Generalization is EnumerationDomain.

Superclass hierarchy

Definition

Set of categories represented by classification items where the subset of immediate children categories for any given parent category are mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive with respect to that parent.

Examples

ISIC rev 4; NAICS 2017, SOC 2018

Explanatory notes

A Statistical Classification may have a flat, linear structure or may be hierarchically structured, such that all Categories at lower Levels are sub-Categories of Categories at the next Level up. (Source: GSIM StatisticalClassification) Each Classification Item represents a Category. Every Category is a member of a Level within a Statistical Classification. The Categories are defined with reference to one or more characteristics of a particular universe of units of observation.
