Welcome to the home page of the Classification Society. In 2008, the Classification Society of North America (CSNA) reverted to its former name. The Classification Society is a nonprofit interdisciplinary and international organization whose purposes are to promote the scientific study of classification and clustering (including systematic methods of creating classifications from data), and to disseminate scientific and educational information related to its fields of interests. To learn more about the Classification Society, click here. or visit us on LinkedIn.

The regular ongoing activities of the Classification Society include our annual meeting, journal, newsletter, discussions on the CLASS-L mailing list, and the presentation of the annual Distinguished Dissertation Award for a PhD Dissertation.
