CONTEXT-BASED DATA CLASSIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method of classifying a digital document, the method comprising:
- identifying, by an automated data processor, a request for access to the digital document for a first user;
determining, by the automated data processor, user identifying information for the first user;
obtaining, by the automated data processor, according to the user identifying information a first user characteristic comprising at least one of an organizational affiliation of the first user and a job function of the first user;
generating, by the automated data processor, based on the first user characteristic, a digital document classification for the digital document;
associating, by the automated data processor, the digital document classification with the digital document, by at least one of;
(1) embedding the document classification in the digital document, and (2) logging the document classification in a log identifying the digital document; and
making a user access determination for the digital document according to the associated digital document classification.

Abstract
A method of classifying a digital document may include: identifying, by an automated data processor, a request for access to the digital document for a first user; determining user identifying information for the first user; obtaining, by the automated data processor, according to the user identifying information a first user characteristic including organizational affiliation of the first user or a job function of the first user; generating, by the automated data processor, based on the first user characteristic, a digital document classification for the digital document; associating the digital document classification with the digital document, by embedding the document classification in the digital document or logging the document classification in a log identifying the digital document. A user access determination for the digital document may be made according to the associated digital document classification.

23. An automated data processing system for classifying a digital document, the automated data processing system comprising:
-
a data determiner configured to obtain user identifying information for a first user attempting to access the digital document, and to obtain, according to the user identifying information, a first user characteristic; a classification generator configured to generate, using the automated data processor, based on the first user characteristic, a digital document classification for the digital document; and a document manager configured to associate the digital document classification with the digital document, by at least one of;
(1) embedding the digital document classification in the digital document, (2) logging the digital document classification in a log identifying the digital document,wherein a degree of access to the digital document for a user attempting access is determined according to the digital document classification.

24. A method of classifying a digital document, the method comprising:
-
identifying, by an automated data processor, a request for access, by a first process, to the digital document; obtaining, by the automated data processor, application identifying information for a programming application associated with generation of the digital document; generating, by the automated data processor, based on the application identifying information, a digital document classification for the digital document; associating, by the automated data processor, the digital document classification with the digital document, by at least one of;
(1) embedding the document classification in the digital document, and (2) logging the document classification in a log identifying the digital document; andbased on the document classification, denying access to the digital document for a user attempting access to the digital document. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
