7 CIOC Strategic Plan FY Pages Re Goal 2: Information securely, rapidly, and reliably delivered to our stakeholders: –Provide updates to the FEA Data Reference Model (DRM) and establish DRM implementation strategies, best practices, and success stories. The purpose of these activities is to contribute to the usability of the DRM by maintaining an effective process for modifying the DRM and sharing strategies for success.

8 The Best Practices Committee The Best Practices Committee (BPC) is established by the CIO Council Charter to serve as a focal point for promoting information management/information technology (IM/IT) best practices within the Federal Government. The BPC brings together a team of IT professionals committed to identifying the most successful of IM/IT practices being implemented in industry, government, and academia; and sharing them with agency CIOs as best practices to be considered for emulation across the Federal Government. The committee’s focus is on: (a) sharing the successes of others and not reinventing the wheel, (b) constantly learning and applying working models to reduce complexity and achieve results and, (c) attaining cost avoidance and sound stewardship of the taxpayer’s dollars.

9 The Best Practices Committee In addition to the standing committee membership, the BPC includes Communities of Practice that bring subject matter experts together across Government and industry to learn and share what is working and what is not. Co-Chairs: Dr. George Strawn, NSF CIO, and Bill Vjada, Department of Education CIO.

10 Mission Clay Johnson’s (Deputy OMB Director for Management) Question at the CIOC Awards Meeting: Do we identify or create “best practices” to which I answered ‘both’? Suggestion by George Strawn, NSF CIO and Co-Chair of the Best Practices Committee: –1. Request for Best Practices: A way for CIOs and their friends to ask for help from other agencies (and others) as to what are best practices in a given activity. –2. Requests for Best Practicers: Present to the Best Practice Committee (as we have been doing). –3. Capture These Presentations: The audio/video as well as the materials that we already capture and make available over the Wiki. –4. Facilitate Access to and Awareness of These Materials: RSS and perhaps other techniques.

11 Steps for Building a Best Practice Building StepTaskExplanation 5 Implementation (Managing Context Across Multiple Documents and Organizations) DRM 3.0 and Web 3.0 Knowlegebases in Semantic Wikis that facilitates description and context in the same model, OWL, and does this within the collaboration framework (CIA, NCOIC, etc.). 4 Web 3.0Extract logical relationships and represent knowledge using IKRIS. 3 GCMDA successful template for managing petabytes of government information. 2 WordNetUse precise words for topics in the Data Context. 1 DRM 3.0Use IKRIS to unify Data Context and Data Description in the DRM 2.0 Schematic Model.
