Enumeration

Definition

The classification of an amenity based on the primary field to which it serves, participates, supports or identifies with.

Description

For example a supermarket or hardware business can be categorised/grouped as a 'Commerce and Retail Amenity' along with other stores, while embassy and consular services etc would be categorised as a 'Diplomatic Amenity'. The primary category is generally considered to represent the most important/significant activity provided and/or which against additional specific information needs recording or is relevant. For example, while an hospital may provide or fulfil a number of different activities or services, its key identification is as a ‘Medical Amenity’ with the need to record the specific medical resources available and/or provided.
