Dutch term or phrase:Informatiehuishouding
Voor de WIA is reeds eerder geconcludeerd dat de volledige uitvoering (voorzien per 1-1-2008) slechts mogelijk is met ingrijpende vernieuwing van de informatiehuishouding.
I understand the term, but I'm struggling to find a suitable expression in English. The best I've come up with so far is "methods for processing information". I'm sure there are better translations for it, though.
Explanation: Like titi, the first thing that came to my mind was 'information management'. On second thoughts, however, 'information management -- and 'ICT architecture' -- seem rather "specifically-loaded" terms in the I(C)T world. I think that 'information processes' would be a more general term with less unintended connotions.

@titi, re: "Het systeem is geen technisch systeem maar een administratief systeem waarbij het niet alleen maar gaat om verwerking (processes) maar om het totale beheer (en dat heet huishouding)".
Je brengt hier met grote stelligheid twee dingen naar voren waarmee ik zelf heel wat voorzichtiger zou zijn: 1. het systeem is geen technisch systeem, en 2. totale beheer heet huishouding. Daar valt nog wel wat op af te dingen, denk ik. Maar verdere discussie hierover lijkt mij niet echt zinvol. Ik denk dat Johan mans genoeg is om de aangedragen oplossingen op hun merites te beoordelen. Cheers!

@writeaway:, re: who cares now indeed-but the glossary suffers from such an entry
I greatly appreciate your concern for the quality and integrity of the glossary. A noble cause indeed! But in my humble opinion -- and with due respect, of course, to "titi" and his other supporting peers -- I think the glossary would, on the contrary, have suffered from the inclusion of 'information management' as the one-and-only translation of 'informatiehuishouding'. But anyway, I believe the whole discussion regarding the term would be easily accessible for anyone taking the effort of looking it up. Your opinion is, at least, "on record" so to speak. Personally, I find some consolation in that fact when I am overruled. Perhaps you will, too (although it wasn't even your own suggestion). Cheers!
@Jarry, re: Agree with writeaway that Glossary should be modified by the Moderator.
Jarry, I think you may already have been having more than a few beers yourself, because I don't recall Writeaway mentioning anything about having the glossary modified by the moderator. But again, please see my response to Writeaway for my thoughts on that issue. Cheers!(!)
@Writeaway and @Jarry:
Like asker, I consider this question closed and will not respond to any further comments!
Thank you for all the valuable input. I noted Titi's objections, but this answer seems the best to me. It is also similar to what I thought it should be, just shorter and more elegant. Thank you all. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Explanation: This probably refers to "De informatiebeheergroep" a notorious ***** body in Dutch bureaucracy.

Hier wordt niet alleen de verwerking bedoeld maar ook de opslag en het beheer. Ik zie niet in waarom "information management" een beladen term zou zijn. Je moet er niet naar kijken vanuit de optiek van een ict'er maar vanuit gezichtspunt van een specialist Administratieve Oganisatie. (scheiding van bevoegdheden en functies, controlemechanismen en afschermen van gevoelige informatie boven het niveau waar functionele toegang nodig is)
