This hierarchy is for the discussion of all aspects of culture in and of the
UK, including its understanding, appreciation, practise and promotion. The
term "culture" encompasses customs, activities, objects, performances and
displays which have aesthetic merit, or which manifest our heritage and
civilisation. It also includes the work of organizations which seek to display
and promote all such cultural activities.

Please note that there may be other more appropriate hierarchies for specific
examples of culture, for example uk.media.*, uk.music.*, and uk.rec.*; groups
for the discussion of 'lifestyles' or 'sub-cultures' will usually be more
appropriately placed in uk.people.*.
