This paper offers a multi-level classification of the IT based on the allocation to strata from the bottom up techniques, tools and equipment to the work with information depending on their degree of complexity — from the means of communication human with a computer, collection, storage, retrieval, different ways of processing information to the IT for extract the knowledge and to the emergence of new information as a result of the complex methods. The paper uses the information models of F. E. Temnikov and A. A. Denisov to describe the principles of the proposed classification. The hierarchical structure of the IT in this paper is presented within two levels of itemization — a general one which comprises the whole specter of the existing IT and a detailed one which consists of the second level technologies that are specific for every particular general technology branch.
