Configuration Taxonomy

"The following represents a linear or flat taxonomy of key Configuration Types or Categorizations that are used by Information Technology (IT) organizations and professionals to help define, structure, organize, and understand various forms of Data, Information, and Knowledge that are specifically associated with 'Configurations' and Configuration Management. Such information is often used as a foundation for work that needs to be performed as well as data modeling, especially in the design, definition, and implementation of other Taxonomies and Ontologies. Such constructs are also often used as mechanisms to provide clarity and standardize terminology for communications between business stakeholders and IT organizations."
