Is the "International Classification for Patient Safety" a classification?

The WHO has developed and is currently testing a classification for patient safety (ICPS). Analyzing the ICPS in the light of classificatory and ontology principles as well as international standards we conclude that its qualification as a classification or taxonomy is misleading. Acknowledging its merits as a standard reporting instrument for change management and process improvements we propose formal improvements.
