Information Organization

Premise:

The value of information is derived from its organization
(Larson, 1988).


Effective information management has significant implications for
preservation policy delineation, project feasibility analysis,
design, and maintenance management.  The increasingly complex
issues that must be addressed in contemporary cultural resource
management efforts require new solutions to data acquisition,
management, and storage needs.  The CRM processes have not yet
capitalized on the remarkable information processing capabilities
that existing computer technologies provide.  There is even a
considerable variety of proven, "off the shelf" technology which
is underutilized, and it languishes particularly for want of CRM
applications.  Unfortunately, both the novelty and mystique that
surrounds modern technologies often obscures efforts to develop
practical, cost effective applications.
