- numerical class-strucure, with segments, groups, subgroups and commodity classes, represeting markets by an 8-digit classification number.
- keywords and synonyms, used for a quick and precise search and finding of commodity classes and their attributes.
- sets of attributes, which describe the various attributes of materials and services. A search in electronic catalogues without an unified structure of attributes is not useful.
- values, defining attributes.
Only the use of the same "language" or terms insures an effective communication between all levels of commerce-partners,
e.g. global markets, suppliers, customers!
