Types of classification

Usually, the essential purpose of the classification is to find the best possible order, the most precise, so that, when looking for a specific object or element that has been organized, the search is easier.

Classification types

Budget classification

The budget classification consists of one of the fundamental components that comprise a strong budget management structure, because it specifies the way in which budget information is recorded, displayed and reported, and therefore has a direct mark on transparency and budget logic.

Literary classification

The literary classification, also known as literary genres, consist of the various classes in which we can group literary works according to the content shown. The rhetoric classic has divided this classification into three broad categories: dramatic, lyrical and narrative.

A large part of the works respond to one of the three genres mentioned above, however, it must be taken into account that the works are made at different times and, sometimes, are not limited to one of the three genres. For this reason, there are others that have been organized as literary subgenres.

It is the organization of biological diversity in a divided system of inclusive groupings, in which all the defining qualities of the class, which in this area is known as a taxon , are very important qualities at the biological level, that is, defining the identity. biological of each one of the elements of the category.

Köppen climate classification

This type of classification was created by the climatologist Wladimir Köppen in 1884, and later reexamined by the same Köppen and by Rudolf Geiger, it defines each class of climate with a succession of letters, generally three, that indicate the behavior of precipitation and temperatures. It is one of the most widely used climate organizations due to its simplicity and generality.

The Köppen structure is based on the fact that natural vegetation has a clear link with the climate, therefore, the limits between one climate and another were made taking into account the distribution of the vegetation.

Strunz classification

It consists of a mineral organization structure based on their chemical elements. It was created by the mineralogist Karl Strunz .

This classification orders the minerals into nine groups, which at the same time are again organized into various classes, groups or families, depending on the chemical composition and the crystalline structure of the samples.

It consists of a structure that encompasses the chemical components arranged in order of progressive atomic number and in a way that reveals the structure of the elements. These elements are organized in seven horizontal rows, known as periods, and in eighteen vertical columns called groups.

The first period of the periodic table covers two elements, helium and hydrogen, and the two subsequent periods, each with eight elements, known as short periods.

The periodic classification is an essential tool for examining chemistry, because it facilitates the identification, in a logical and easy to understand way, the similarities and differences between the various elements.
