Information-based organizations depend upon compute r databases and information systems for their ongoing operation and management . Information Resource Management (IRM) is a program of activities directed at making effective use of information technology within an organization . These activities range from global corporate information plannin g to application system development, operation, and maintenance and support of end-user computing . Numerous approaches to specific IRM activities have been proposed. They remain disjoint, however, and, hence globally ineffective . A significant reason for inability to integrate IRM activities is the failure to adequately define the information resource. What is it that must be effectively managed? This paper addresses this issue . It applies data modeling concept s to the problem of managing organizational information re – sources. A data model is developed to support and integrate the various IRM activities. This model formally defines the information resource and the data needed to manage it. It provides a basic ingredient for effective Information Resourc e Management.Read the full paper here: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/146548.146552
