INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION FIELDS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR

Description

G16Z covers ICT applications and systems tailored to specialized domains that do not fit within other specific G16 subclasses (such as G16B for bioinformatics, G16C for computational chemistry, or G16H for healthcare). This classification serves as a residual category for emerging or niche application fields requiring dedicated digital solutions, data management systems, or computational approaches. Examples may include ICT systems for cultural heritage, environmental monitoring, smart agriculture technologies, or other sector-specific digital infrastructures not explicitly addressed elsewhere in the G16 group. It functions as a safety-net provision for novel application areas until they warrant designation to their own dedicated subclass.
