2. The Elevator Story Quickly finding information needed: –By the citizen –By the CoIs –By Government entities Foster Reuse for Federal Data –Saves money Reduces data entry –Saves time Why we need a universal core? –Because there are data we all care about and we need to speak the same language Rationalizing Data for use as a National Asset. –First step in acting as a Federal Enterprise in collaboration with state, local and tribal government

3. The Elevator Story Also: –Foster Information quality –Standard practices for management –Building out the Context Area for the DRM –Identifying the core data required to support the Governments mission In short –Know we know –Know how to share it –Know where it is –Use data --- Making decisions

4. Basic Concepts for Governance The things that we all care about –Universal Core The things that a COI (two or more agencies) cares about –Core (COI Core) The things that an agency cares about –Mission specific requirements Focused on context – not a huge federal data model, but provide the organizing framework for knowing what we know

5. Deliverables: A Proposal for Universal Core –Four Context Areas with Description to be published in the DRM PERSON …. –Establish structured, repeatable process for defining and documenting Universal Core –Establish guidance for FY 09 budget build (May 07) Update of DRM

6. Deliverables (cont.) Implementation Guidance for Agencies –Request support from Best Practices Pilot Process for COI Governance –Creation of COI (Chartering) –Creation of Context, Description and Sharing with a COI –Use existing Communities of Interests as point of departure –Pilot repeatable processes for implementing DRM

7. Making it happen Find out who cares. –Invite representatives Analysis –Draft Universal Core List –Establish it as baseline –Universal Core should capture basic interrogatives: Who(PERSON and PERSON roles, ORGANIZATION) What(things, ASSETS, PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT) Where(LOCATION) When (EVENT) Why(OBJECTIVES, GOALS) –Request IAC Support for Analysis Use DAS as approval authority for Universal Core
