2.1: Discovery & Access

Develop Clear Policies for Discovery and Access

Other Information:

A central intent of information sharing is to make certain information is both discoverable and accessible by those with a legitimate need, in a timely manner. Discovery and access are distinct concepts: the first addresses a user's ability to identify the existence of information, and the second relates to a user's ability to retrieve it. Our national security demands relevant information is made discoverable, in accordance with existing laws and policies, to appropriate personnel. Discovery and access require clear and consistent policy and standards, as well as technical guidance for implementing interoperable processes and technology.
