categorisations
Acts of systematic grouping
Categorisations is the British spelling of categorizations—acts of sorting things into groups based on shared characteristics.
The word appears in academic and bureaucratic contexts: The categorisations used in the study were too broad.
A single categorisation assigns something to a category; multiple categorisations may reflect different classification schemes applied to the same data.
