"Institutional" Categorization of Hurricanes
Tue, 2012-10-09 23:42 — vstarostenkoA great example of Institutional Categorization is the hurricane categorization system that is used in the United States. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale classifies hurricanes into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. The scale – originally developed by wind engineer Herb Saffir and meteorologist Bob Simpson – has been an exceptional tool for alerting the public about the possible impacts of various intensity hurricanes.

It is a distribution platform, and more broadly, an organizing system—an intentionally arranged collection of resources and the interactions they support. Like the iTunes player itself, you both play, purchase, and manage your games from the Steam desktop application.
