Classification System
A classification system is a structured framework for organizing items, data, or ideas into categories based on shared attributes or criteria, making it easier to retrieve and analyze information. It's widely used in fields like science and technology to impose order on complexity, but it can also introduce biases if not designed inclusively, reflecting modern debates on data ethics.
