Managing classifications
Classification artifacts can be used like tags to control groupings of assets in your company. They can also define the type of sensitive information in an information asset. You can define new classification artifacts in addition to predefined classification artifacts that are provided by Watson Knowledge Catalog. You can assign a classification to an information asset or associate it with other governance artifacts.
Asset classifications are artifacts that you can create, view, edit, rename, publish, or delete.
