International Classification Systems *Examples are ISO 12006, ISO/IEC 81346, currencies, countries, building-lifecycle stages, BIM uses, BIM actors, BIM element properties, etc.* National Classification Systems *Many countries have their own – in the U.S. you have OmniClass, UniFormat and MasterFormat, in Sweden CoClass and BSAB, in the U.K. Uniclass, in Germany DIN, in Denmark CCS, etc.* Company (custom) Classification Systems *A company can create its own internal classifications of products, processes, customers, equipment, etc. Or it can create a pricing classification, e.g., and integrate it with its estimating software and other systems.* **THIRD**, these user roles determine what permissions a user has. **Administrator (Admin)** Admin is the most powerful user role. It provides full control of the ICS environment. Administrators can add new classification systems, edit or delete systems created by other users in their level, and manage users. A user with the admin role can add new users to the ICS, change information about existing users, and remove any user from the system (even other administrators). **Moderator** Users with the role of Moderator have control over the classification system(s) assigned to them. They can add, edit, publish, and delete tables, including those created by others. They can also moderate, edit, and delete comments. Moderators cannot change ICS settings, create new classification systems, or add new users. **Guest** Users with the role of Guest can log in to ICS and review classification systems added or created by Administrators and Moderators. They can also update their own user profiles and change their passwords. However, they cannot add or make changes to systems. User-role icons are used in this guide with these meanings:

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.besmart.software/design-data-management-and-exchange/classification-system/quick-start.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
