Defining who is in the nonprofit sector, and where they sit within that sector, is a powerful task. Any attempt to do it at an international scale must recognize the diversity of voluntary activity and civil society across cultures and contexts. In this chapter, we consider the challenges of applying classifications in different cultures, before going on to explore both the opportunities and challenges that new data and technologies offer for complex classification at scale. We conclude with some reflections on how the theory and application of classification might proceed in the future.

The classification of civil society organizations by their characteristics seems quite straightforward. But in practice there are real challenges in both agreeing and applying a classification system consistently, particularly if the process needs to be automated. In this chapter we explore what is meant by the classification of civil society, describe its history, and then set out some of the opportunities and challenges that advances in theory and methods might pose for developing classification in the coming years.
