Hassan

Hassan drafted the structure of the document: Guidance on IM document architecture

This meeting is to validate the document structure

• Timeline: to provide the document by the end of June, 2021

• Introduction/About Information management/Intended audience/Definitions and types of information/IM principles/Information life cycle/IM and technologies/…

• William

• WHat do you see the chapters that contain most of the information

Enrico

• Too many items: Introduction include: About information management, purpose and scope, intended audience, which can be reorganized under Introduction

• As a user, I want to read Standards and best practices, could be together with information life cycle

• Principles, Philosophy perspective, life cycle: Principles is more about Philosophy perspective and life cycle is more of method

• More prone to include Standards and Best Practices into either IM Principles or Information life cycle??

• Hassan

  • Take all activities into account, not just climate or specific areas.

  • Or do we need a small document?

• Peng

  • agree: Sub-groups reorganization

• Axel

  • This document should be very basic

  • Types of information: should be generic

  • Choose either IM principles or Information life cycle is good

  • Are there any documents for climate data management (WMO Secretariat will share the relevant docuements with the team)
