The purposes of classification is to collocate or cluster like items by subject, preserve context (discipline, topics, form) in one "term," and resolve language issues. Classifications tend to be based on a philosophical view of knowledge as something that can be subdivided into a series of disciplinary classes, which can further be subdivided into topics.
