件 is the everyday word for a matter or case in business contexts, while 儀 is a stiffer, formal term used mainly in written correspondence.
儀式 names a concrete, structured ceremonial event, whereas 儀 is the more archaic, abstract word that can refer to the ceremony itself or a formal matter.
議 (as in 議論) means discussion or deliberation, while 儀 means ceremony or formal matter; the two share the ぎ reading and the 義 component but are unrelated in meaning.
儀 (ceremony, ritual) is another same-sounding character often confused with 義, but it refers to formal rites, not morality or in-law relations.
