One effective method to achieve this prioritization is to look at the progress or performance indicators for the organization and make sure that the data is collected for these indicators to be reported on.
The above systematic exercise may also help the RBO defines the information management capacity building needs and also the possible areas where investments in technical improvements and systems can be made.
3. Information Management Tools
The Wikipedia definition of “Information Management” is “The collection of and Management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences. This sometimes the organization of and control over the structure, processing and delivery of information.
Wits the advances made in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) the process of collecting, processing, storing and delivery of the information changed a lot. To facilitate the organization and classification of information it will be useful to know what are the generic information types and their characteristics. Also, it will be useful for the IMU to know the possible types of information management tools that may be available to them and how it can work with ICT specialists in developing and customizing such tools to support its operations.
3.1 Information Types and Their Characteristics
Information type Characteristics
1. Static Info Static information does not change with time. They are typically information used to identify an object and those relatively time-invariant characteristics of an object, such as a river name, river length, basin size, etc.
2. Dynamic Info Dynamic information varies with time, e.g. river flow data, rainfall data. Water quality data, etc.
3. Raw data Raw data are information recorded by a measuring equipment or derive from a survey.
4.Processed Info Processed information is information that meets a defined need and is processed from raw data.
5.Report-tyte Info Report-type information is a combination of text, figures and tables, organized within a set of narrative text.
6.Spatial-type Info Spatial-type information is information stored in the form of maps and is geo-referenced to a map.
Table 8.1 below gives a list of the basic information types and their characteristics.
Table 8.1 information types and their characteristics.
3.2 Examples of some Information Management Tools
The rapid advances in ICT have enabled a number of new information management tools to be developed and thus assist an RBO in its information management tasks. The new tools have enabled more information to be generated, processed and disseminated compared to the past.
