I was thinking of the physical case but you are correct in the information case. Most
businesses go to great trouble to track their physical inventory with tags, sign out
and in procedures etc. But they hardly ever keep track of their information inventory.
Remember the big push for data dictionaries and data warehouses etc. of a few years
ago. The idea of tracking data as an asset seems to have fallen by the wayside in the
rush to put everything online.

Actually most business does not think it is desired, otherwise they would
use IT Systems which support labled security. Some DOD Systems support this
and it gets quite annoying if you cant copy and paste from one window into
another, only because one is labled more sensitive than the other.
