In general, pipelines can be classified, depending on their main purpose, in the following three main categories:
- Gathering pipelines: group of smaller interconnected pipelines forming complex networks with the main purpose of bringing crude oil or natural gas from several nearby wells to a treatment plant or processing facility;
- Transportation pipelines (trunk pipelines): mainly long pipes with large diameters, moving products (oil, gas, refined products) between cities, countries and even continents; these transportation networks include several compressor stations in gas lines or pump stations for crude and multi-product pipelines;
- Distribution pipelines: composed of several interconnected pipelines with small diameters, used to take the products to the final consumer.

These vehicles may be classified according to the type of energy used by the motor, the main ones being:

Violence varies by types according to sexual, psychological, physical and economic violence occurring in the family, within the general community, perpetrated or condoned by the state (UNICEF, 2000). The type of violence indicates the means used to impose discipline, or to impose the concept of who is in control. The terms "forms" and "types" of gender-based violence (or abuse) are often used as synonyms, even in the international literature. However, it has been approved in the discussion sessions on the use of the word "form" referring to the framework in which violence occurs and the word "type" to refer to the means used to impose authority. For example, if we say Ms X was beaten by her husband, physical violence will be the type of violence and domestic or marital violence would be the form.

Typical ages refer to the ages that normally correspond to the age at entry and ending of a cycle of education. These ages relate to the theoretical duration of a cycle assuming full-time attendance and no repetition of a year. The assumption is made that, at least in the ordinary education system, a student can proceed through the educational programme in a standard number of years, which is referred to as the theoretical duration of the programme.

The typical ending age should be the age at the beginning of the last school/academic year of the corresponding level and programme.

The typical graduation age should be the age at the end of the last school/academic year of the corresponding level and programme when the degree is obtained. Note that at some levels of education the term “graduation age” may not translate literally and would be equivalent to a “completion age”; it is used here purely as a convention.

The typical starting age should be the age at the beginning of the first school/academic year of the corresponding level and programme.

Is not a specific technology, but a scenario in which computers become more numerous and fade into the background, providing information to human users and embedding intelligence and computing capabilities in seemingly everyday objects.
