Methods, systems and program products for classifying and storing a data handling method and for associating a data handling method with a data item

A system for classifying and storing a data handling method, comprising:

• a method value system for determining a set of coordinate values using responses to a plurality of questions;
• and
• a storage system for storing the data handling method in a multidimensional data structure at an address corresponding to the set of coordinate values.

A system for associating a data handling method with a data item, comprising:

• a data item value system for determining a set of coordinate values using responses to a plurality of questions posed with respect to the data item, wherein the set of coordinate values correspond to an address in a multidimensional data structure where the data handling method is stored;
• and
• an association system for associating the data item with the data handling method based on the set of coordinate values.

A program product stored on a recordable medium for classifying and storing a data handling method, which when executed, comprises:
