1: Automated Support for the TRM

To the degree that any technical specification identified in Stage 1 has been approved by a duly recognized voluntary consensus standards body and is subject to actual usage or firm commitments to usage by a specified number of .gov &/or .mil agencies, the ET.gov site/process should automatically flag such specifications as potential candidates for inclusion in the TRM.

Other Information:

Upon confirmation of such information, such as by an agency Chief Information Officer (CIO) or Chief Architect, it should be possible for authorized individuals, such as the ET Subcommittee co-chairs &/or system administrators, to approve candidates for inclusion in the TRM, simply by clicking a check box. Clicking the check box should automatically include the specification in the TRM. The authoritative source of the TRM should be an XML file named trm.xml hosted at a stable URL on the public Web. The TRM should be readily available via Web Services and perhaps RSS, Atom and/or other standard means at Standards.gov as well as via USA.gov and other, more specialized indexing and search services.
