PIM has been defined by different authors. 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. Williams Jones on the other hand understands personal information in a much broader sense.

Before defining Personal Information Management a few other terms have to be defined.

Personal Information

Information Item

Personal Information Collection

Task Information Collection

Personal Space of Information

Personal Information Management
