An introduction to a taxonomy of information privacy in collaborative environments

Abstract

Information Privacy is becoming an increasingly important field of research with many new definitions and terminologies. Along similar rates of increase are the use, uptake and expansion of Collaborative Environments. There is a need for a better understanding and classification of information privacy concepts and terms. This is especially true in relation to their affect on the operation, creation and ongoing administration of Collaborative Environments. The knowledge provided from a information privacy taxonomy can be used to formulate better information privacy policies, practices, and privacy enhancing technologies (PET's). This paper provides a Information Privacy taxonomy for Collaborative Environments.
