			Another problem when documenting uses is whether we sort uses by use group first, or by plant part first. We may also consider the product as collected, or the end product as elaborated through a transformation process (a sap is first a sweet beverage, and it can become a sugar or an alcoholic drink, and later a vinegar or a distilled alcohol).

	We must stress the fact that a given species may have many uses. A same organ can be used with different purposes; e.g., les soybeans are as well a pulse, an oil crop and a protein source for food or feed. The same product can be used in different economic sectors: e.g., turmeric and saffron are both food colorants and textile dyes.		We must stress the fact that a given species may have many uses.

	== How can we ~~claasify~~ uses? ==		== How can we classify uses? ==
	Classifying uses in groups is a common and convenient practice. But such uses are very diverse, and group names are vague; around a core which is quite easy to define, similar uses are aggregated, up to cases which are difficult to decide. In fact, the delimitation of use groups depends on perceptions and practices of social groups, which differ according to languages and cultures, but also between diverse social groups sociaux in a given population. This explains why there is no international consensus in this field, even coming from technology or anthropology.		Classifying uses in groups is a common and convenient practice.
