6: Publish & Implement

Publish IEPD for search, discovery, and reuse

Other Information:

No required artifacts. Publish the IEPD to a repository and implement the exchange. Purpose: Publish the completed IEPD to an online repository and then implement the information exchange in the production environment Additional Insight: Publish: IEPD implementers have the option to publish their IEPDs to their own repository, to a national repository, such as the IEPD Clearinghouse, or they can register and publish them through NIEM.gov Implement: NIEM intentionally does not provide implementation specifications in order to maintain interoperability. Therefore, architects have MANY different options to publish and implement an IEPD and these decisions will largely be decided upon by available resources and organizational constraints. Key Considerations: * The IEPD review process might be iterative and could concurrently be completed with implementation * Multiple IEPD publication repositories exist; project managers should decide on publication locations that maximize IEPD reuse * Implementation of an information exchange is outside the scope of NIEM and will require additional software development along with necessary hardware

Stakeholder(s):

• Project Manager: Manage the IEPD Review Process and requested IEPD changes Decide on IEPD publication location(s) Manage the implementation of the exchange

Objective(s):
