Specializations of SPFItemClassification are used to relate objects to each classification tree if the object is classified by more than one tree. SPFItemClassification is used for general navigation between classified objects and the classification tree.

SPFPrimaryClassification is a specialization of SPFItemClassification and is used to link every classified object to its main tree, the one that is primarily used in the Desktop Client to create and manipulate the objects.

It is possible to configure more than one Classification Tree for use in classifying objects of a given ClassDef. For example, there may be an internal company document classification and also a vendor or contractor document classification. In this situation, the system needs to know the primary classification to use when determining relationships between the classification tree and Enum typing hierarchy. The SPFPrimaryClassification relationship is used to link objects to their main tree, and other specialized relationships are used to link the objects to other trees. The objects are always created via the primary tree and linked at that time by SPFPrimaryClassification and also linked to the alternative trees by the specialized relationship.
