conventional grouping [kən′ven·chən·əl ′grüp·iŋ]
(computer science)
When a unit record containing a coding field is used for a single item code and the set of codes of the terms which describe the item, the grouping is conventional; for example, a personnel file in which each individual is represented by a card on which are punched codes for his or her age, sex, education, and salary.
