The GIIG Glossary, published by the Government & Industry Interoperability Group in 2022, defines classification structure as an: ‘Arrangement of similar entities based on ‘type-of’ relationships by intrinsic function, form, usage or other attribute. It can be rule-based if the attributes used can be identified.’
