2.5: Information Sharing Standards

Drive the Use of Information Sharing Standards

Other Information:

Meeting the mission need for enterprise-wide discovery and access warrants the use of standards. By reusing existing standards, stakeholders can benefit from the time, resources, and experience invested by others to fully vet and implement a new standard. As a result, capabilities to meet mission needs can be more rapidly, efficiently, and effectively applied without developing ad-hoc custom solutions or unique standards for single use. Prudent information sharing leverages the use of voluntary consensus standards, as described in existing Federal policy, wherein government uses standards created by established SDOs, which often incorporate government, industry, and international membership. With this approach, we first aim to adopt existing standards to meet mission needs, and when none are available, use SDOs to address the gap.
