	PIM has been defined by several researchers. Although definitions are similar to one another they also supplement each other. The main reason is that some authors have different understanding of what ''personal information'' is. [[Richard Boardman]] for example defines ''personal information'' as information under one person's control. [[William Jones]] on the other hand understands ''personal information'' in a much broader sense.		PIM has been defined by several researchers.

			[[Richard Boardman\|Boardman]] noted that there is a lack of terminology in the area. Especially the word '''archiving''' ha different meanings:

			* [[Steve Whittaker\|Whittaker]] and Sidner defines archiving as: categorizing (filing) long term information to be easily retrieved later.
