The NRIMS 2002-05 Action Plan identifies that the State's natural resource data activities should be coordinated through an integrated program. In that regard the Information Management Framework (IMF) version 1.0 has been adopted to help manage the State's natural resource information assets.

The NRIMS IMF categorises information management business functions and provides guidelines, templates, business metrics, a controlled vocabulary and tools. The IMF ensures consistency to the management of information resources in line with industry best practice and recognised standards.

The framework is of use to data custodians and managers of natural resource information.

Work is continuing in the development of additional guidelines and procedures in future versions. Also presented is the blueprint which provides an overview of the framework and the status of current development of the IMF.

The NRIMS Steering Group has endorsed the use of this IMF as a standard approach to natural resource information management across NSW government.
