One problem is most people over classify information to begin with. It is a lot easier to overclassify than to properly classify information. Technology can solve part of the problem is the data is properly marked. At that point, data sharing becomes much easier. However, many legacy systems aren't capable of supporting the markings. Finally, there are multiple standards for marking. Justice Department, DoD and the ODNI all have different standards. Daniel,

For example, I wonder how often a highly classified document contains identical content to a less classified one. I'm sure it's rarely that black and white, but I wonder if a de-duping approach could at least reduce the problem. I’ve been wondering if technology can address the problem of overclassificaiton.
