Core subcategories for all CCRP platforms - for comment

This section lists base classes (I need to add number) which are stored within the 12 CCRP data type/divisions - new revisions describe at colouring-cities/colouring-core#1) . The Base classes define the common variables, properties, and methods which need to be copied when new CCRP platforms are set up. Within the 'Base classes' are over 50 'Derived classes'. These can be added to over time but are also required to be copied and formatted in the same way across countries to allow for rapid analysis of captured data. Within the 'Derived classes', open code for 'Sub-classes' can be also created to define the specific geographic context, at national, regional and local context. (Code for subdivisions may also be be relevant to other countries located in similar global regions).
(Sources and verification button are required for each and should concertina open when data are entered).
