2: FEA Standards
Use of Standards in FEA Other Information:
Some Examples of use of Standards in FEA: Data Reference Model: For example, the DRM abstract model can be implemented using
different combinations of technical standards. As one example, the Exchange Package concept in the Data Sharing standardization
area may be represented via different messaging standards (e.g. eXtensible Markup Language (XML) schema2, Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) transaction set) in a concrete system architecture for purposes of information sharing (Page 8 of DRM_2_0_Final.pdf).
- Data Context is a standardization area within the DRM. - Data Description is a standardization area within the DRM. - Data
Sharing is a standardization area within the DRM - Data Description Standardization: the purpose is to provide a means for
a COI to agree to the structure (syntax) and meaning (semantics) of the data that it uses. Department of Interior used ISO/IEC
11179 Metadata Registries Standard for the metadata attributes that describe the data. ISO/IEC 11179 is a Metadata Registry
Standard that can be used by implementations based on the DRM to register and represent the metadata describing data within
their data assets. The purpose of the Data Context standardization area is to enable identification and discovery of data
and to provide linkages to the other FEA reference models. Data Sharing: (Page 47) “Analytical Databases” under the “Data
Supplier-to-Consumer Matrix” includes directories (e.g., repositories that support the Light Weight Directory Access Protocol,
LDAP or X.500 Data Schema: A representation of metadata, often in the form of data artifacts such as logical data models or
conceptual data models Query Languages: SQL-92, CQL(Z39.50), XQuery, HTTP GET etc.
