2: Information Sharing and Data Standardization and Re-Use

Create the ability for increased and expedited information sharing, data standardization, and data re-use through the evolving FEA DRM.

Other Information:

Outcomes: 1. Agencies enable business and customer results-driven and expedited information sharing through provisioning data services in accordance with the FEA DRM. 2. Agencies initiate or participate in COIs for existing cross-agency initiatives (Presidential E-Government initiatives and others); they have a formal data interoperability standard identified and recorded on a suitable platform. 3. Agencies initially identify and inventory data assets and formally appoint competent stewards for each data asset made available for sharing or reuse and exposed to the public. These actions are in response to the E-Government Act of 2002, OMB M-06-02, and OMB Circular A-130 and are consistent with the FEA DRM version 2.0 services for data sharing. 4. Major data assets are selected, inventoried and placed under stewardship when one or more of the following are true: * It supports a core business function of the BRM, * Data is purchased from an source external to the agency, * Your agency enforces privacy or security controls over the data asset, and/or * Your agency is the authoritative source for that data asset. 5. Agencies document their data assets as part of their enterprise architectures. Data assets available for sharing or reuse will be exposed using the Data Sharing Services and the Abstract Model delineated in the FEA DRM. Sample Performance Measures: * Increase in the number of inter-agency data sharing interfaces. * Increase in the number of approved data standards used by two or more agencies. * Percent of available population using a collaboration environment supporting Federal data management activities (e.g., DRM registry, etc.). * Extent to which data or information is current (as measured in days since last update) * Increase in the amount of data captured from electronic processes (rather than paper processes). * Increase in agency adoption of approved E-Gov data standards (e.g., CHI). * Increase in the percentage of data elements for which standards and definitions exist in an enterprise data dictionary (i.e., increased Data Standardization). * Increase in the number of state/local governments exchanging data electronically with Federal agencies. * Increase in the number of hardcopy records digitized, indexed, and/or catalogued.
