For an up to date definition of the term Level of information need go to Information Management according to BS EN ISO 19650 Guidance Part 1 quoted below:

6.5.1 What is the level of information need and why do we need it?
Information is required for a purpose, such as to perform a task or support a decision.
The level of information need is defined to enable the right level of information to be provided
to satisfy the information related purposes at each information exchange. It is important to avoid
the delivery of too little information, which increases risk, and the delivery of too much
information, which is wasteful.
The level of information need is a broad concept which represents the framework for how the
“richness” of each information deliverable is going to be defined. There are many different ways
to express the level of information need, including the richness of geometrical details and the
richness of datasets.
Note that ‘level of information need’ should not be abbreviated.
