Zusammenfassung
In relation to sustainability, information technology is often seen as an enabler in ventures with an aim to have a positive impact on sustainability. These can be, e.g., economical, ecological and social. In order to achieve these goals there is a need to describe the information infrastructure. The base for such an infrastructure is the capability to store and manage information, and the technology that supports the flow of information. We apply this view on a project directed towards the development of a new information infrastructure within the municipality of Uppsala, concerning transport logistics in relation to sustainability goals. We explored our concept of information infrastructure to model the change in information pathways, between the old system and the new one. Experience from this work is our foundation for an information model usable when developing sustainable systems.
