Depending on the classification it can be simply the size across the flats on the head. Alternatively it can be the diameter of the threaded part of the bolt, this can also be subdivided into the type of thread. (Called the pitch, called teeth per inch, or other linear unit). This determines how fine or coarse the thread is.

There are also other classifications for specialized work in various industries.
