The Organizational Task and Record Classification Standard is meant to be utilized after the organization has organized its records and files into categories. Building on the record categories, the organization then assigns them to tasks, grouping the tasks under the appropriate business function. The result is a complete roll up from data fields and records through categories, tasks, and business functions.

This document acts as the UCF's Task and Record Classification description standard for defining how to craft these documents directly from the UCF XML database so that as new, modified, or deleted controls or records are added to the UCF, the output can easily be updated.

Where does this information come from?

The information in this standard comes from the UCF's XML database. We'll repeat each of the fields here with a descriptor for where the information can be found within the XML specification documents. The Organizational Task Categories XML file can be found online
