SOCIO-ECONOMIC
OBJECTIVE CLASSIFICATION (SEO)
Nature and purpose of the SEO Classification
-
The SEO Classification allows R&D data to be classified
according to the researcher's perceived purpose.
The purpose categories take account of processes, products,
health, education and other social and
environmental aspects of particular interest.
-
A purpose classification such as the SEO provides a set of
categories which collectively exhaust
all the objectives of research. In this respect, the
scope of the SEO is more extensive than a classification
of economic activities such as the Australian and New
Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC),
because not all R&D has an economic motive or context.
