Classification Research Group

Classification Research Group (CRG)

“The Classification Research Group (CRG), formed in the UK in 1952, has been one of the most significant contributors to classification research and theory in the latter half of the 20th century. A perusal of the reports ("Bulletins") produced by the CRG indicates that the Group has been actively involved in the creation of several classification schemes for such organizations as, Occupational Safety and Health (Geneva), Research and Control Division of Allen and Hanbury Limited, and the Bibliography of industrial diamond applications (CRG 1962). The theoretical work of the Group has involved the study of facet analysis, relational operators and the theory of Integrative Levels.” (Spiteri, 1995).
