Information Classification Must Reach Beyond Knowledge Management "There Are Many Faces Of Information Classification" by Paul Stamp, Barry Murphy, Stephanie Balaouras with Matthew Brown, Diana Levitt. Forrester (October 2007)

A free report from Forrester for Information and knowledge management (I&KM) professionals. There are several critical reasons for classifying information in addition to information retrieval — "such as ensuring security, implementing a retention policy, and optimizing the use of storage". "Now is the time for I&KM professionals to sync up with security and IT operations professionals to identify and then augment existing classification policies. Create a classification template that meets the 80/20 rule, enabling all team members to quickly classify about 80% of information in the organization."
