1. A method comprising: determining a genre classification for a document, the genre classification comprising multiple terms and corresponding scores, each score for a term indicating a confidence level for the term with respect to the document; identifying a relevant node in a document control policy ontology by comparing the genre classification with the document control policy ontology; assessing a confidence level for applicability of the relevant node based at least in part upon at least one of the scores; selecting a parent node of the relevant node in the document control policy ontology to stand in for the relevant node if the assessed confidence level for applicability of the relevant node falls below a threshold; and recommending at least one document control policy to govern access to the document based on the identified or selected relevant node in the document control policy ontology.
