The CIO and "Information as an Asset"

Excellent audio cast on by Peter Burris on Information Management and specifically "information as an asset". Every CIO should listen to this. He stresses the role of mastering our metadata to accomplish the compliance requirements and to achieve information superiority.
Highly recommended listening!

Comments:
What about the usage of atomic facts as in Object Role Modeling as a way of maintaining information?
 
I see the modeling of knowledge as a layer above the Information assets. The information assets will continue to be created in a multitude of formats. I think of this as the "content" level of information. Above that you would have the "catalog" level whereby you store basic directory information about the content (similar to a catalog in a library). Above that you have the "context" layer of information where you would model information that is critical to your mission critical business processes. In that "context" layer, I believe your approach is useful.
To remember these layers, I think of the "3 C's".

Regards,
