Classification of information technologiesInformation technology (IT) is a set of methods, processes, tools and hardware that provide for
the decision makers in the various fields of activity the ability to access any required information.
Currently, there is no established classification IT. A variety of technologies are studied in different
disciplines. At the same time, in order to help to navigate the variety of information technologies they
need to be ordered in some way. This paper offers a multi-level classification of the IT based on the
allocation to strata from the bottom up techniques, tools and equipment to the work with information
depending on their degree of complexity — from the means of communication human with a
computer, collection, storage, retrieval, different ways of processing information to the IT for extract
the knowledge and to the emergence of new information as a result of the complex methods. The
paper uses the information models of F. E. Temnikov and A. A. Denisov to describe the principles
of the proposed classification. The hierarchical structure of the IT in this paper is presented within
two levels of itemization — a general one which comprises the whole specter of the existing IT and
a detailed one which consists of the second level technologies that are specific for every particular
general technology branch.
