About
The Infrastructure Data Management Framework (IDMF) provides practical guidance to agencies to plan and manage data associated with state owned infrastructure.
The IDMF supports the NSW Government’s State Infrastructure Strategy and Smart Places Strategy
The Infrastructure Data Management Framework (IDMF) provides guidance to support management of data created and used during the planning, design, construction and operation of infrastructure across NSW Government. It is available at: https://data.nsw.gov.au/IDMF.
The Framework was developed in response to recommendation 27 of the NSW State Infrastructure Strategy 2018-2038. It helps NSW Government to realise its smart places vision, as part of broad reforms focused on the convergence of digital and infrastructure.
The IDMF is not mandatory. It is recommended for adoption across NSW Government agencies and entities to ensure that NSW better uses and shares infrastructure data.
The IDMF provides practical guidance on management of infrastructure data
It includes:
a principles-based approach to support consistent implementation of infrastructure data improvements across the state
common policies, frameworks, standards and other guiding information as foundation elements
identification of infrastructure information requirements at an organisational level and across the asset lifecycle
identification of information models supported by data management requirements at each phase of the asset lifecycle
additional guidance providing more information on specific data related topics.
The IDMF supports agencies to make better decisions using infrastructure data
The consistent approach to management of infrastructure data enables:
Better planning and operation of smart places
Consistent use and reuse of data across agencies
Representation of built assets as part of digital twins
Provision of services using smart infrastructure data and insights
Understanding and use of data across the lifecycle of built assets.
