reclassifying
Assigning different categories
Reclassifying is the act of assigning something to a different category than before.
Documents get reclassified when their security status changes.
Species get reclassified when scientists revise their understanding of evolutionary relationships.
The government is reclassifying thousands of Cold War files.
The word implies a previous classification now being revised or overturned.
