A classification function assigns data items to discrete categories. For example, a classification function whose input is pictures of pets might sort them into dogs, cats, rabbits and so on.
Unsupervised classification where the classes are neither labelled nor known beforehand is known as clustering. It was decided to subsume clustering under classification rather than capturing it as a separate functional building block because there is no clear demarkation between the two.
Classification is captured both as a functional building block and as a use case as it has both functional and business aspects.
