Classification & alignment resources support the interpretation of relationships between internationally traded products, industrial activities, sector programmes, institutions, and commercial ecosystems. Downloadable mapping resources are provided to support trade-intelligence analysis, sector review, opportunity identification, and trade-development activities.

Classification & Use-Case Resources

Defines the governed classification and use-case framework supporting ATIM analysis, sector interpretation, operational alignment, and trade-development activities.


Purpose

This appendix defines the governed classification and use-case framework supporting ATIM analysis, sector interpretation, and trade-development activities.

Operational Use-Case Framework

Operational use-case structures support interpretation of how trade, sector, services, institutional, and ecosystem relationships connect to practical trade-development activities.

Examples include:

  • export expansion;
  • market-entry support;
  • sourcing and procurement;
  • distribution and representation;
  • manufacturing cooperation;
  • supply-chain participation;
  • trade-support services;
  • institutional collaboration; and
  • related trade-development activities.

Governed Reference Structures

Detailed classification mappings, sector-reference structures, use-case frameworks, and alignment datasets are maintained separately as governed reference datasets.

This approach supports:

  • controlled updating;
  • scalability across sectors and countries;
  • analytical consistency;
  • operational flexibility; and
  • long-term maintainability.

ATIM Governance

Classification structures, mappings, and use-case frameworks are intended to support structural interpretation, operational alignment, and trade-development activities. They should not be interpreted as deterministic indicators of commercial success, competitiveness, or market-entry viability.
