Question about setting up content hierarchy

[binitprads]

Hi, 

This is probably a simple thing to do but wanted to get some advice on what would be the best way to do it. 

I am trying to create a website that features different types of organizations and plan to use a classification system (such as TRBC) to assign what type of organization it is. 

These are the grouping levels of the classification system. 

- ECONOMIC SECTOR (e.g. Financials)

--BUSINESS SECTOR (e.g. Banking & Investment Services)

---INDUSTRY GROUP (e.g. Banking Services)

----INDUSTRY (e.g. Bank)

-----ACTIVITY (e.g. Commercial Banks)

So ideally i would like to assign an organization from the ACTIVITY level in the organization levels above. 

But in different views i would like to list the organization on different levels. E.g. if i assign an organization as Commercial bank, i would like to make it possible to see the same organization on the BUSINESS SECTOR level in the category 'Banking & Investment Services'

what would be the best way to store these classifications? so that on the page for the organization i only have to do a Page field to assign to the ACTIVITY level but still have the flexibility to list the organization on other levels?

I was thinking of doing a hierarchy of pages, but not sure if that is the best way. Any advice is appreciated.

 So ideally i would like to assign an organization from the ACTIVITY level in the organization levels above. 

A child page of the Commercial Banks page is a descendant of each parent. So there is an assignment already that you use can by leveraging a selector in a template.

 

But in different views i would like to list the organization on different levels. E.g. if i assign an organization as Commercial bank, i would like to make it possible to see the same organization on the BUSINESS SECTOR level in the category 'Banking & Investment Services'

You would use a has_parent selector to build the pages array that met that condition in your template.  

 

what would be the best way to store these classifications? so that on the page for the organization i only have to do a Page field to assign to the ACTIVITY level but still have the flexibility to list the organization on other levels?

You can just leverage the page tree and the structure you build.
