WikitipStop relying solely on age-based classification criteriaIT organizations must break with the past and make business process, not age of data sets the defining catalyst for data classification schema. This approach will not scale without auto-classification capabilities that assign meta-data to data sets at the point of creation or use. Emerging tagging methodologies borrowed from social networking may provide a complementary user-driven approach, but these will not suffice for compliance and legal requirements. |
