This section outlines the conceptual foundations behind the category defined by HiDataManagement. It does not describe services, tools, or methodologies, but clarifies how information is treated in environments of responsibility.
In administrative, legal, and institutional contexts, information is not neutral. It carries consequences, continuity, and accountability. Its handling must therefore be explicit, traceable, and understandable by humans.
The framework assumes that critical information should remain under direct human supervision, with continuity over time and resistance to fragmentation or loss. Local control supports memory, auditability, and responsibility.
In environments of responsibility, narratives are insufficient. Information must be structured, parameterized, and capable of being reviewed independently. This shift from narrative to structure is a prerequisite for accountability.
The framework does not seek to influence outcomes or decisions. Its role is limited to structuring and preserving information in a way that allows competent bodies to evaluate it within their own mandate.
