CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM		  Five Principles of Information Management

 

Classification System

There is considerable overlap in the content of the reviewed documents, but the greatest detail relating to the classification of identity credentials is provided in FIDIS D2.1. It is recommended that the inventory, specified in FIDIS D2.1, is used as the basis for the classification system in FIDIS.  

The structure and detail of the proposed FIDIS identity classification system are shown in the following tables. The classification system relating to the identity of a person has been divided into two classes 

  1. Class 1: Factual/Physical/Material Attributes (Simple/Singular)  

  2. Class 2: Abstract/Interpretational Attributes (Complex) 

The vertical axis of the tables specifies the list of identities being included in the system and the horizontal axis represents the five principles of information management described in FIDIS Deliverable D4.6. The ordering of the principles reflects a cascade from the classification of information streams to responsibilities, and then on to technology and operational considerations. 

 

The five principles of information management are stated below:
