Agreeing on a method to identicate interfaces is a desirable step in order to build a Database of Interfacial Energy. So far, the expression Sigma X Interface has been used to identify interfaces. Unfortunately, this conventional method can not express arbitrary interface geometries. In the present paper, we propose a systematic Orientation Method based on the extension of the  concept of unit cell that can express arbitrary twists and slippings of interfaces
