Full Classification
Used for detailed, multi-part classifications.
Full classification is recommended where more than one classification system is in use or where there may be uncertainty as to the origin or meaning of the classification.
For technical detail, refer to fp_associate_classification -> For associating a full classification
Classification Notation
| For each facet of the classification to be applied, set the notation value of the facet (the classification). e.g. 'A210' |
|
| Assign the facets to the classification notation as a list e.g. ('A210', 'A211', 'A212") etc. |
Classification Item
| Set the name of the classification item or table concerned e.g. 'Table 32' Note that multiple items or tables may be defined |
|
| Allocate classification notations to the classification item or table concerned. | |
| Create a hierarchy of the classification items or tables used as necessary e.g. item L6821 is a child of item L682 is a child of item 68 is a child of item 6. |
Classification System
The classification system should only need to be defined once
| Identify the name or label by which the classification used is normally known e.g. NS3420, Omniclass etc. |
|
| Identify the source (or publisher) for the classification e.g. Standards Norge, CSI etc. |
|
| Identify the edition or version of the classification system from which the classification notation is derived e.g. version 3, 2006 etc. |
|
| Identify the classification items as being within the defined classification system |
