 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Classification assigns an item to one or more defined categories according to specified criteria.
 +
 +The classified item includes [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data|Data]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:information|Information]], an artifact, a configuration value, a resource, a system, a finding, a risk, or another subject requiring consistent treatment.
 +
 +A classification scheme defines the available categories, assignment criteria, responsible authority, handling consequences, review conditions, and relationships among categories. Classification applies the scheme to a particular item.
 +
 +A Classification remains distinct from a label. A Classification records the category assigned to an item. A label represents or communicates that Classification within a document, interface, record, message, or physical marking.
 +
 +A Classification also remains distinct from a handling rule. The Classification identifies the applicable category. A handling rule specifies the controls and actions associated with that category.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//assignment of an item to a defined category according to specified criteria//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +DIDO Solutions project definition informed by ISO/IEC information-classification and classification terminology.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Classification identifies the applicable classification scheme, assigned category, classified item, assignment criteria, responsible authority, effective period, and classification status.
 +
 +An item has more than one Classification when different classification schemes address different concerns. Information, for example, has a security Classification, retention Classification, regulatory Classification, and operational Classification.
 +
 +A Classification change records the previous category, resulting category, responsible authority, reason, and effective time.
 +
 +Classification criteria support consistent assignment. A category name or label without defined assignment criteria does not provide a reproducible Classification.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A Node Configuration parameter containing a private key receives a confidential security Classification. The Classification associates the value with [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:security_control|Security Controls]] governing access, storage, transfer, logging, rotation, retention, and disposal.
