-
n., The arrangement of concepts into classes and their subdivisions to express the relationship among them. The classes are represented by means of a notation. The classification scheme of a record-keeping system is based on the analysis of the functions, matters and typology of records to determine the rational and systematic aggregation of records: it facilitates the capturing of records and their organization in files, the retrieval and the security of records during the phase of records management and also the historical research when records are permanently retained in historical archives. For each category and its subdivisions, records are connected as files of one year or two years or a different period of time: each file refers to a specific transaction (or Affaire).
