Method and system for classifying information
First Claim
1. A method for classifying information, the method comprising:
- a computer determining a plurality of management characteristics for an information type;
the computer determining a plurality of business characteristics for the information type;
the computer determining at least one management tally for the information type based on the management characteristics;
the computer determining a management characteristic scoring scale;
the computer assigning a management characteristic score to each management characteristic for the information type;
the computer determining at least one business tally for the information type based on the business characteristics;
the computer determining a normalization factor for the at least one business tally;
the computer determining at least one management weighting factor for each or for all of the management characteristics;
the computer determining at least one business weighting factor for each or for all of the business characteristics;
the computer determining an information class gradient based on the at least one management tally and an information class value, wherein the information class gradient includes a plurality of information classes having an information class range;
the computer storing the information type based on the information class gradient;
the computer calculating a maximum possible management tally, wherein the maximum possible management tally is a summation of a maximum management characteristic score for each management characteristic; and
the computer calculating the information class range as the quotient of the maximum possible management tally and the information class value.
