Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
generating, by the computing device based on the predetermined rules, a second fingerprint of a second data column in the data set to be classified, the second fingerprint comprising column dimensions, wherein each column dimension of the second fingerprint is assigned an attribute representing a characteristic of data in the second data column;
determining, by the computing device, that the second fingerprint does not match the one or more target fingerprints by comparing the second fingerprint to the one or more target fingerprints; and
in response to determining that the second fingerprint does not match the one or more target fingerprints, performing, by the computing device, a full data classification of the second data column by comparing data of the second data column to multiple data classes to determine whether at least one of the multiple data classes is associated with the second data column.
