1 Collaborative Expedition Workshop #45: Advancing Information Sharing, Access, Discovery and Assimilation of Diverse Digital Collections Governed by Heterogeneous Sensitivities November 8, 2005 National Science Foundation Room 555, Stafford II Ballston, VA

2 Welcome! Opportunity to learn from individuals and policy- makers from all sectors Practice intergovernmental collaboration to advance President's Management Agenda toward citizen-centric government Accelerate multi-sector partnerships around IT capabilities to help government work better

3 Introduction Organize around common purpose, larger than any institution, to appreciate potentials and realities Improve quality of dialogue and collaborative prototyping at intergovernmental crossroads Participants, representing many forms of expertise, return to their settings with a larger perspective of the “whole”

4 Introduction Create conducive conditions for “breakthrough” innovations –Authoritative Communities of Interest/ Practice around Common Business Lines –Agile Framework for Building Intergovernmental Services –Emergence of Open Standards, Semantic Technology “In design, we either hobble or support people’s natural ability to express forms of expertise.” Prof. David D. Woods

5 Introduction Key FY03 Finding: Agile business components in innovative settings not easily discovered by e-government managers, resulting in lost or delayed opportunities for all parties. Emerging Components Conference Series established in FY04 –Five national dialogue conferences have been held: two at the White House Conference Center, one at the Washington DC Convention Center and two at MITRE –Conference #6, on June 13, held in conjunction with the First Data Reference Model (DRM) Public Forum.

6 Introduction Key FY04 Finding: Growing Opportunity to apply Emerging Technologies (web services, grid computing, and semantic web) to tune up Innovation Pipeline with better linkages among: –Business incubators (state economic development programs) –Innovation diffusion networks (SBIR, angel investors, etc.) and –Business intelligence centers with quality information about e- government and e-commerce gaps. –Semantic Interoperability CoP, Best Practices Committee –XML CoP, Architecture & Infrastructure Committee – http//:et.gov –IT R& D Communities

9 Introduction Workshop Value: “Frontier Outpost" to open up quality conversations, augmented by information technology, to leverage collaborative capacity of united, but diverse sectors of society, seeking to discover, frame, and act on national potentials. Workshop Archives:

10 Agenda Some Key Questions for FY05: How can multiple Communities of Practice discover and organize around common mission needs to build shared understanding? How can shared understanding around several select, urgent cross-boundary scenarios be accelerated? What is the role of collaborative prototyping around emerging technology potential, in light of the FEA's Data Reference Model? How can the FEA Data Reference Model evolve to provide the common frame of reference needed to support diverse communities tuning up around their information sharing capacities?

11 Agenda Some Key Questions for Today: 1. How can multiple communities from diverse sectors work together using relevant scenarios to build stewardship practices that support readiness and realization of shared missions? 2.What are the opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaboration around common challenges of diverse digital collections governed by heterogeneous sensitivities? 3.How can the capacities of trust, agility, and accountability be achieved through federated stewardship among communities still building common ground and understanding? 4.How can Communities of Practice define their identities, roles, and governance relationships in a manner that reinforces their individual and collective capacities?
