  1. The U.S. CIOC’s Emerging Technology Life-Cycle Management Process @ ET.gov—and Multifaceted Search, Discovery, and Retrieval of ET Information Presented to the XML Community of Practice, Town Hall Meeting/ eGov Institute’s Knowledge Management Conference Washington, DC April 20, 2005

  2. Outline * Source: Adapted from xmlCoP and ET/SC documents.

  3. 1. Objectives of ET.gov—and impetus • Help facilitate the discovery of various types of components which may be beneficial to the Federal government—thereby provide a formal channel by which agencies can evaluate ETs • Produce communication between CIOs, governmental decision makers, submitters, and other integrators by taking a standards-based approach to capitalize on the benefits of XML and maximize the benefits of the Web • Provide a standard XML schema for component description and a submission point from which components can be evaluated—i.e., via a single point of multifaceted search-discovery-and-retrieval (MSDR) • Aid the discovery of new technologies.

  4. 2. Value and expected impact of ET.gov • When a government agency, technology company or another • organization registers with ET.gov, the site will: • Provide the opportunity for their emerging technology to “get discovered” by the Federal community • Foster the maturity of their technology in the Federal market • Shorten the “time to market” for their ET in the Federal civilian and non-civilian sectors • Separate the “wheat from the chaff,”—i.e., weed out “intergalactic technology solutions!”

  5. 3. ET.gov—and its relationship with the AIC and USCIOC • The AIC pursued seven funded tasks in FY 2005, on top of other existing efforts, e.g., fostering communities of practice on XML and semantic interoperability • The tasks are to generate the greatest ROI in terms of the time and dedication put forth by AIC members and staff • Task 6 is to “develop identification and validation processes for emerging technologies,” i.e., ET.gov • Lead staff for this task under the ET S/C are: John McManus (NASA), Susan Turnbull (GSA), and Owen Ambur (DOI).

  7. 5. Eight stages of the ET.gov process 1. Identify + register 3. Accept stewardship 5. Budget (President + Congress) 2. Subscribe + indicate LOI 7. Maintain over life cycle 4. Graduate + transition to CORE.gov 6. Acquire for use 8. Retire + replace

  8. 6. ET.gov today and tomorrow ET = IT + XT data: USA + global http://et.gov/component_search.aspx 1,000s of records, users, and queries ET = IT + XT data: USA 100s of records, users, and queries 100,000s of records, users, and queries ET = IT data: USA + global 10,000s of records, users, and queries ET = IT data: USA

  9. 7. Objectives of demo—and use ofmultifaceted search at ET.gov • Illustrate how data on ETs can be organized and accessed by multiple facets (axes) and hierarchical taxonomies (categories) within • Show how end-users within and outside the Federal government can then search, discover, and retrieve information from the ET.gov site in a human-friendly way • Highlight the social, economic, and intelligence value that different stakeholders can derive by using MSDR technology as part of the ET.gov site and process.

  10. 8. Defining the facets + categories for ET.gov

  11. 9. ET.gov demo (test drive via Screenshots A>H) http://etgov.i411.com

  12. Screen A: Standard Web interface of ET.gov

  13. Screen B: Detail of the home page—with aerial view of the 4 facets, categories, and counts (43) 1 Conduct free-text search by keyword 2 Get aerial view and browse the 43 ET records by four facets (views, axes) and by hierarchi- cal categories with counts

  14. Screen C: Launch free-text search for “knowledge management” 2 Search for “knowledge management” 3 See 11 results organized by facets and categories 4 See also 11 results in the standard list

  15. Screen D: Drill down the “Knowledge Management” category under the SRM facet 5 Drill down the SRM facet— into the category for “Knowledge Management”

  16. Screen E: Switch view to the TRM facet and drill down the “Component Framework” category 6 Switch view to the TRM facet—and drill down into the category for “Component Framework”

  17. Screen F: Drill down into the “Proposed Spec” category also under the TRM facet 7 Drill down into the category for “Proposed Spec”

  18. Screen G: Switch view again to the Component Type facet and drill down into the “Software” category 8 See the breadcrumb trail 9 Switch view to the Component Type facet—and drill down into the category for “Software”

  19. Screen H: Find (discover) the final record 10 • Find (discover) the “sliced-and-diced” • KM records that fit: • KM under SRM, • Component Framework and • Proposed Spec under TRM, and • Software under Component Type

  20. 10. Conclusion: What we mean is that… “Better, faster, smarter” search will give the technology company (seller) the opportunity to “fairly” increase the exposure and visibility of its ET—making sure that the Federal agency (searcher and buyer) looking for that ET or similar ETs will, in fact, find what the agency is looking for, with NO chance of not finding that ET… so long as the company registered and input its data correctly at ET.gov.
