Looking into this more, The Data Model Resource Book mentions classification groups - but I believe the author meant that Party Types could be grouped together in classification groups. In other words, the classification groups are defined by the data contained in the Party Type table - not in a separate "Party Classification Group" table. There is nothing stopping us from having a Party Classification Group table, but it should group Party Types, not "Classification Types."
