EA Federation and Building the DoD EA - Briefing to OMG 16 September 2009 Alan Golombek and Walt Okon Enterprise Architecture and Standards (EA&S) Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer Alan: (703) Walt: (703)

Briefing Agenda Information of EA federation and Federated Joint Architecture Working Group (FJAWG) activities Way Ahead Questions

Intro to The FJAWG The FJAWG is working group of mostly DoD Component Architects that assist the DoD in constructing the DoD EA in a federated manner to achieve the DOD EA objective. –This includes review and input on EA governance documents such as the DoDD 8210 (Draft) Architecting the DoD The DNI and PM ISE are participating Meet approximately quarterly

Enterprise Architecture Objective Make Architecture Data: Discoverable Accessible Understandable

Background (Late 2005 – 2008) Enterprise Architecture (EA) was addressed by the Enterprise Architecture Summit (EAS) The EAS Created the Federated Joint Architecture Working Group (FJAWG) –Component, COCOM, Services representation –Developed a Statement of Objectives –Developed a Federation Approach –Developed & Published Approved Architecture Federation Strategy Recommended Pilots to Demonstrate Technical Feasibility and Value

Initial Federation Process Architecture Description Federation Is A Two Step Process: –Registration of approved architecture description metadata –Alignment Determining relationship between architecture descriptions by examining their activities (enhances search capability) –Equivalent To –Similar To –Part Of –Not related Develop DoD Directive and Instruction as well as automated registration templates

Technical Feasibility of Federation Pilots Develop and Test Registration Services –Based on Net-Centric Core Enterprise Services (NCES) –Determine what information about architecture descriptions to register: DoD Metadata Specification Metadata extensions from the Architecture Descriptions All View Product (AV-1) –Register Sample Set of Architecture Descriptions Connect things together –Architectures descriptions to registries –Registries to registries

Federation Pilot Participants SponsorsPanel Members Army Mr. Robert Damashek, Chief Architect – Binary Group, Army CIO/G-6/AONS Department of Navy Mr. Brant Frey, Booz Allen, DON CIO Joint Staff (J6I) Lieutenant Colonel Jon Sutherland, USAF Air Force Wing Commander Shaun Harvey, RAF USTRANSCOM/BTA/ Marine Corps

Current FJAWG Activities Review and comment on the DODD 8210 (Architecting the DoD) and the supporting DoDI 8210 Federation is a totally integrated EA&S program involving FJAWG members Brian WIlczynski, Director (Heads EA Summit) –DoDAF –Discovery: AV 1 Registration/DARs –DoD/ IC Standards –EA Training and Professional Development –DOD IEA –DoD ISE –Joint DoD/DNI EA effort (including Training and Professional Development) –Participation with allies on EA –Represent DoD EA on all Federal EA matters

Way Ahead Continue cooperative efforts with Industry, DNI, PM ISE, USDI, etc… –Information Sharing Implications Immense Share EA data, and eventually content, government wide Use of EA as an information asset Industry participation in the FJAWG is welcome
