Government of British Columbia
InfoSmart
Information, Science and Technology Agency
April 2000
InfoSmart is a directions and priorities document and the government of British Columbia's
strategic framework to improve the way it works and delivers services to the public using
information technology.
Justice Information System (JUSTIN)
Ministry of Attorney General
Justice agencies increasingly recognize the importance of integrating their
information systems in order to share critical data, documents, images and key
transactions. Integrated systems have the potential to improve the quality of
information, and therefore the quality of decisions, by eliminating error-prone,
redundant data entry. In addition, through the sharing of data between
systems, integration enables the sharing of crucial information without regard
to time or space. JUSTIN provides a single integrated database comprising almost
every aspect of a criminal case.
Government of Canada
E-Filing Project
Electronic filing has the potential to enable more efficient and effective
communication, storage, retrieval and dissemination of the information
involved in court matters. Over time, common standards will allow E-Filing
to provide real benefits to all participants in legal proceedings. In
keeping with the philosophy of "Government-on-Line", the Registry of
the Federal Court of Canada has secured recognition of a special project
from the Chief Information Officer's Branch of Treasury Board Secretariat
as a "pathfinder project", because of its potential to demonstrate the value
of common standards to all federal judicial bodies.

Government of Canada Symposium: Achieving Excellence in Information Management
On February 13, 2003, Ian Wilson and Margaret Purdy, the Information
Management (IM) Champions for the Government of Canada hosted the Government
of Canada Symposium: Achieving Excellence in Information Management at
the Ottawa Congress Centre. Participants heard from government leaders of
Canada and the United States about what is being done to address the IM
deficit, the IM tools and training currently available and what more needs to
be done. In addition, awards were presented to departments that are
"leading by example" in the IM field, by implementing new IM
initiatives and sharing the results with their colleagues in other government
departments.
Information Management (IM) Capacity Check Tool
The IM Capacity Check Tool (formerly known as the IM Maturity Model Tool) is a self-assessment
tool intended as a diagnostic tool for senior management of an organization. An assessment
using the IM Capacity Check can help institutions assess the state of IM practices within each
entity against a common standard, bring together all the elements of information management
practices, compare against best practices, and provide information to enable management to
develop plans for improvements to their own IM practices.
Records and Information Life Cycle Management Guide
IM is an evolving science that is a key underpinning of effective
information sharing within institutions, and externally to customers
and suppliers, partners, or the public. As part of an ongoing, government-wide
initiative, the Library and Archives of Canada has collected a number
of resources to provide a foundation for building your own IM resources
and competencies. Together with the IM community, we will be adding to
the number and quality of resources found in this online Guide as time
goes on.

Information Management Community
The Organizational Readiness Office is undertaking demographic and other

service in information management.

behalf.
Information Management
Information, Privacy and Security Policy Division
Managing information-based resources is now widely recognized in industry and government to be as critical as managing financial and human resources. This has led to the acceptance of information management, namely, the coordinated management of an organization's information-based resources, including its information holdings and investments in technology. It implies planning, directing and controlling all of the organization's information-based resources to meet corporate goals and to deliver programs and services.
Information Management and PKI (link not available)
Public Key Infrastructure
A Public Key Infrastructure Information Management working group was created in 2001 to look at similar issues for the new on-line environment. Representatives from seven departments developed a management guidance document to help departments manage information that is received or created using digital signatures and encryption. Managers take a series of steps to determine the best ways to manage and store electronic information, including PKI-supported transactions.
Information Management (IM) Checklist
Project plans should describe how Information Management requirements will be taken into
consideration in the project and include an activity to address those Information Management
elements that are relevant to the project. In addition to legislation and policies relevant to
information management, the document identifies several underlying principles to be taken into
consideration when preparing an IM project.
Information Management in the
Government of Canada - A Situation Analysis
John MacDonald
June 2000
At no other time in the Government of Canada's history has information management been as
important as it is today. As it enters the new millennium, the Government is implementing plans
to connect Canadians to all government information and services by the Year 2004. Central to
the success of these plans is Government's capacity to manage that information. As government
programs and services are increasingly delivered electronically, however, the government's
ability to manage its information will be challenged significantly. This report and the three
supporting background papers ("Issues", "Concepts", "Recommendations")
are designed to help government orient itself to meet this challenge.
Information Management - PKI Guidance
Public Key Infrastructure
March 31, 2002
The purpose of this document is to introduce guidelines for the establishment
of an environment within which a government organization may trust the authenticity
of its electronic information. It specifically addresses those instances where the
information was received in an encrypted state or digitally signed.
Policy on the Management of Government Information
Effective Date: May 1, 2003
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that information under the control of
the Government of Canada is managed effectively and efficiently throughout
its life cycle. Federal government institutions must manage information in
a privacy protective manner that supports informed policy and decision-making
and the delivery of high quality programs, services, and information through
a variety of channels and in both official languages. It replaces the Treasury
Board Management of Government Information Holdings policy.

federal records of historical value. NHPRC helps non-federal institutions preserve and make
broadly accessible other records of historical value through grants to archival institutions,
manuscript repositories, and publications in multiple formats.
