The lack of effective and efficient sharing of corporate electronic data/information is recognised as a major deficiency facing the DND/CF [Department of National Defence/Canadian Forces].

The mandate of the DISB project is to remedy those shortcomings through the establishment of a corporate information sharing service with one primary focus: to provide DND/CF with a comprehensive service and technology infrastructure that will enable the department to exploit and share information in a co-ordinated fashion. 2, record 2, English, - Defence%20Information%20Services%20Broker

Hilborn and Walters (1981) discussed a number of reasons why traditional baseline and process studies fail to provide the information needed to predict environmental impacts. They aptly labelled such traditional pre-project environmental studies, as 'helicopter ecology.' Ward (1978) agreed with these criticisms in her treatise on experimental impact assessment studies, and she succinctly described two common approaches to environmental assessment taken by some consultants, namely, the 'busy taxonomist' approach and the 'information broker' approach. 1, record 4, English, - information%20broker%20approach
