This ontology defines abstract concepts for representation of classification schemes that themselves are intended to permit the classification of arbitrary concepts into hierarchies (or partial orders) for use in other FIBO ontology elements. Classification Schemes Ontology a system for allocating classifiers (elements in a classification scheme) to objects, similar to identifiers in some cases; such classification schemes are intended to permit the classification of arbitrary objects into hierarchies (or partial orders) classification scheme a standardized classification or delineation for something, per some scheme for such delineation, within a specified context classifier a system for allocating classifiers to organizations by industry sector industry sector classification scheme a standardized classification or delineation for an organization, or possibly for a security representing an interest in a given organization, per some scheme for such delineation, by industry industry sector classifier 1 1 1 Copyright (c) 2015 EDM Council, Inc.

The classification may also be just a list of controlled vocabulary of property words (or terms). The list might be taken from the 'leaf level' of a taxonomy.
