Windows Server 2008 R2 File Classification Infrastructure – Managing data based on business value

This has been needed for many years - but is a solution born out of the past. Business value will no longer be defined in traditional records management ways, and RM policies will begin to shift to recognize Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 elements as being a much better indicator of true business value. Attributes relating to Tagging, user Voting/relevance, comments and other social mechanisms will better identify which records need to really be retained.

However, anything that gets the end user and business population to better engage in the process of disposing of unnecessary files is a step forward, and I'm looking forward to mechanisms that will aid users in getting rid of junk.

in the article u wrote: "In addition to the functionality delivered in Windows we also aimed at building an extensible infrastructure in order to help provide integration points for different partner offerings by enabling classification solutions to plug into Windows to classify files and persisting the file classification so that data management products can query the file classification to apply appropriate policy/action"

Is there any sample code/documentation regarding this?

FCI certainly is interesting and long overdue... I hope that the SharePoint team has been in the Groove (hehe) with the Server 2008 team to have SharePoint leverage the new file classification infrasture!

Here's a neat new feature of R2 that you might have missed: Microsoft has updated the feature capabilities of an old friend, the File Server Resource Manager, with the added ability to manage file "classifications". These classifications arrive as an

Awesome news! I am so glad to hear that file classification features and hooks will finally be available natively in the operating system! We here at InDorse Technologies look forward to extending our context-oriented document assurance solutions to take advantage of the native features (FCI) while extending the FCI infrastructure to manage categorically and content across non-Windows 2008 systems (Un*x, Mainframes, SANs, NASs, SoA, etc) using the InDorse Core platform! Moreover, we're excited to extend the InDorse tagging capabilities to FCI. This to me is music to our ears. THANK YOU, Microsoft Storage Team! I look forward to the collaboration.

@Dennis Oberhofer: Retention Period is just one example. A storage administrator can choose to define any kind of property he/she wants, including Retention Code.
