3. Background (1 of 2)
In August 2010, the Data Vertical Working Group (DVWG) was formed by the JAWG to complete the definition of the JARM Data Vertical (DV).
The DV once complete will consist of the following artifacts;
The IC Conceptual Data Model (IC CDM)
The CDM Generalization Hierarchy
The Data Dictionary
The IC Data Architecture Framework (The IC CDM projected onto the JARM 10-Layer Model)
The IC Meta-Model
CONOPS for the DV
Each component of the DV is intended to support the same purposes and uses as the JARM.

4. Background (2 of 2)
The primary purpose of the IC CDM is to identify and document the key IC data entities, their definitions, and the relationships between the data entities.
The IC CDM provides the foundation for the development of the artifacts for the JARM Data Vertical.
The IC CDM is a clear, accurate visual representation of the essential business objects and the relationships necessary for the IC to operate as a federation.
This includes the data regarding capabilities, activities, resources, information, guidance, and procedures as defined in the context of the JARM.
The IC CDM will be added to the IC Enterprise Standards Baseline as informational guidance

5. Uses The IC CDM does the following:
Provides the means to organize and characterize data information within the IC
Establishes a common basis for logical and physical data models
Provides the means to understand the inter-relationships between data-related capabilities and requirements across the IC portfolios.
Enables a clear understanding of data at each layer of the 10 layer model.

Source
A Priori Condition
The required environment state for an activity to begin.
Derived from DM2
Activity
Work, not specific to a single organization, system or individual that transforms inputs (Resources) into outputs (Resources) or changes their state.
DM2
Adaptability Measure
A quantitative measure of the ease with which Performers satisfy differing Constraints and Capability and Service needs.
Administrative Management
Capabilities that are focused on the planning, management, and day-to-day operation/maintenance of the internal, physical infrastructure of the enterprise.
Adapted From JARM 2.0
Agreement
A consent among parties regarding the terms and conditions of activities that said parties participate in.
Analysis
Capabilities that support operations focused on accessing intelligence data and information and applying analytical expertise to provide enhanced intelligence support to consumers and customers.
Automatic Activity
Activity conducted primarily using only Information Technology and/or machines.
Authored
Business Operations Management
Capabilities that ensure Government resources are used efficiently to enable the mission.
JARM
Capability
The ability to achieve an outcome under specified (performance) requirements and conditions through a combination of activities and resources.
