INFORMATIZABLE

Last item on a horribly abstract flow chart describing the effect of computer science on classification systems and vice versa. I'm sure this means "computable", as in a new, computer-based classification system, but does that sound wrong? I don't feel too sure with this one, and would appreciate the input of my peers, basically!
So thanks in advance everyone.
By the way, Spanish Spain to UK English.
Thanks again. :)

Thanks everyone. Gave the points to Daniel, as he came up with the answer first -much simpler than I thought- and in fact the "ise/ize" thing is as in Deborah's ref: "the -ize spelling is preferred by some sources", and in fact it's not always automatically American to use the -ize. In some cases I prefer it! Anyway, thank you both for your help. :)
