Information resource management has emerged from the 1970's as the term that accurately describes the methodology used for managing an enterprise's information resource. The term itself indicates that we have raised our level of comprehension from only data in the computer environment to the total information resource, which includes computer and non-computer entities consisting of data, the processes that use it, and their relationships. It is a synthesis of previous terms like database management, data management, etc., which have roots far back into the origins of electronic data processing. The origin, evolution, and growth of this methodology are traced for the purpose of establishing the need for standard tools in this age of multivendor enterprises. With the expansion of data independence to include nondatabase files, where programmer productivity is becoming a real issue and the approach of distributed systems and databases is imminent, a standard information resource management tool is an absolute requirement. Current efforts to develop an information resource dictionary system (IRDS) standard will be discussed with some ideas on the directions being taken.
