MINING OF POLICY DATA SOURCE DESCRIPTION BASED ON FILE, STORAGE AND APPLICATION META-DATA

A method and system determines discrete policy target groups for information objects stored in an enterprise IT system. The method and system provide cleansed information about information objects stored on the enterprise IT system. Criteria for sorting the information objects is determined. Initial sorting of the information objects is carried out, resulting in an initial set of clusters. The information objects are clustered into discrete policy target groups based on the information about the information objects and the initial set of clusters, and human-understandable names and definite descriptions for policy target groups are computed.
