I added the "update" notification as this article is now out of date. I'm sorry that I don't have time at the moment to make the changes but:

  • The new classification schemes need to be added and explained.
  • The basic classificiation scheme needs to be updated. This is the scheme currently listed in the article but is being revised and updated. As of this moment, Carnegie hasn't released the final version of the basic classification scheme.

It would also be nice to summarize the classifications' history, the reasons why the classification was updated and changed, and how/why people use (and misuse) these classifications.

Page has been updated with 2005 classifications. More history and context would be nice. --ElKevbo 16:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
