1.1: Expansion

Adding additional data assets to the Inventory.

Other Information:

Expand: Expanding the inventory refers to adding additional data assets to the Inventory. Agencies should develop their own strategy to expand the inventory and break down the work according to agency-defined classes of data [^4]. Agencies should communicate their plans for expanding the Inventory in the Inventory Schedule (described in the minimum requirements). As agencies develop an Inventory Schedule, they may find it helpful to group their data assets into classes of data. The following list provides examples of classes agencies may use as they schedule the expansion of the Inventory: * Agency operating units (for example, bureaus or offices) * Federal Program Inventory on Performance.gov * Common business areas or segments, such as those described in the Business Reference Model or the Budget Function Codes of budget accounts * Agency strategic objectives on Performance.gov and the Performance Reference Model * Types of data from [Data Reference Model] (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/e-gov/fea) * Existing listings of certain types of data assets, such as Information Collection Requests (ICR) submitted to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act (as listed on reginfo.gov [^5]) and/or files posted on the agency's public website * Data assets already prioritized by the agency in response to other Administration initiatives [^6] * Primary related IT investments from the Federal IT Dashboard [^7] * Agency-defined prioritizations of data assets * Other classes or criteria Example ways to evaluate "Expand" maturity: How has the Inventory expanded over time to include additional data assets? What "classes" of data (for example, financial, performance, scientific, regulatory, etc.) have been added or are planned to be added? Are all bureaus and programs represented in the Inventory? If not, what percentage is?*
