Delineation
Definition:

The various needs of the users of the business registers require providing different units correctly delineated with respect to structure, and characteristics of the unit. The delineation of statistical units is done by grouping or dividing administrative or other relevant units according to harmonized rules and also by using classifications to delineate the unit according to its activity, location or any other characteristics.
