  42. Building a Better TomorrowRequires Structuring Our Fragmented Information Today We need to strengthen the sector’s information infrastructure to enable a system in which information can be shared and used dynamically. Specifically, we need to build on current initiatives regarding data classifications (to create consistent definitions), technical standards (to facilitate data exchange), reporting protocols (to specify what data is reported when), knowledge platforms (to allow data to be productively captured), and governance (to ensure intellectual property rights and privacy concerns are managed, to build consensus, and to drive compliance).

  43. This Will Help Information Flow Freely Structuring and organizing data will make information more accessible and useable, increasing the supply and use of information, just as it has in other markets.
