This EEnum categorizes the information type. In this current draft of the PrivacyDSL, a number of exemplary information types are provided, following a numbering taxonomy using a four-digit number:
1) the first two digits are the broad information type category (e.g. identification_authentication)
1) the last two digits are the subcategories within those broad categories, e.g. loginUsernamePassword). If preferred, the same subcategorizing can be done within the last two digits (optional).
This allows the easy generalization of specific information types into more generic ones.
