This order applies to sharable FAA data and information used to perform our mission. Data and information are both enterprise assets that need to be managed like any other asset. Data becomes information when analyzed and combined with other data to extract meaning and provide context to the business.

Analyzing specific aspects of the information content and flow between business functions assists in identifying authoritative data sources.

Purpose of this order: This order establishes a policy for managing both information and data across the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
