   The Separation Model - Part 14 - Data Classification
   ----------------------------------------

   How is it you know a student from a vendor and a vendor
   from a teacher? Well, it's all context right? You visit
   the school to see the teacher and you visit the
   industrial complex to see the vendor.

   As the saying goes, "If life was only that simple." Of
   course you can find a student at a school OR an
   industrial complex - the former is every day life and
   the later is a field trip - Yeah!

   Since we can't count on context, we must use something
   else to identify what's what and who's who. Let's call
   that thing Data Classification.

   Classifying things falls under that wonderful term named
   taxonomy. It's where you stuff anything you have with
   the terms which most clearly identifies it - did you get
   my taxidermy reference? "stuff" - haha.

   All jokes aside, this isn't a concept which comes easily
   to the disorganized database developer. There are many
   ways to classify your data and knowing which one to use,
   and when, can be the confusing part. Staunch friends of
   E.F. Codd will tell you to use as many tables as
   possible and the finish-it-quick demands of an off
   schedule project will scream "just add another field".

   Without having bias towards either of the extremes, I
   hope this video will provide a good deal of insight into
   how to approach your own Data Classification needs!
