Whether naming stars in a solar system or arranging product on retail shelves, everything has its place in a grander scheme of things. Our Classification Scheme MDM provides you with a unified data repository for anything you need to classify. 

The data model we developed is based on a criteria and roles management mechanism.
The three samples of classification are for:

• Dinosaurs, 
  
• Flowering Plants,
  
• Learning Domains (based on the Bloom's Taxonomy).
  

 
The Classification Scheme MDM was designed so that you can: 

• Have an unlimited number of types of classification and criteria
  
• Have an unlimited number of types of things and roles between classification criteria and things
  
• Add classification and criteria through an easy-to-use data authoring tool in the MDM system, without any need to modify the data model
  

Classification Scheme MDM provides you with ready-to-use, Cloud-based materials to jump start governing any classifications you want.
