Appendix A: Domain Definitions
In measuring the performance of the cultural sector, it is useful to identify distinct industry segments, or “domains,” in the cultural sector that share similar characteristics. The following section lists each domain in the cultural sector and the corresponding major subdomains contained within them, along with their associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. These domains are similar to those found in the Statistics Canada’s framework for cultural statistics.[1]
The list of industries that make up the cultural sector excludes most wholesale and retail distribution of cultural goods and services. In many cases, cultural goods and services are sold at a wide range of wholesale and retail outlets and are thus difficult to capture. Moreover, in most cases, the share of cultural goods and services sold by these outlets would be very small.
