  1. Collaboration Expedition Workshop Series #31: Envisioning Greater PossibilitiesThe Potential and Realities of Multiple Taxonomies:How Can Citizens, Business, and Public Servants Traverse the Repositories and Workings of Government? April 28, 2004 4100 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite 800, Arlington, VA Susan Turnbull, GSA, and Brand Niemann, EPA Joint Workshop

  2. Purpose of Workshops • Open up communication circles among diverse stakeholders. • Accelerate commitments and maturation of open standard components for e-government. • Collaborative “incubator” process for our sponsors.

  3. Workshop Community Values • Accommodate Difference • Greater Diversity of Participation around Shared Purpose. • Faster Innovation Diffusion • Improved Ability to Appreciate the Whole Picture and Engage in Sustained Dialogue. • Better Marketplace Discernment • Nexus of common sense and good science.

  4. Goal of the Workshop Series • To accelerate multi-sector partnerships around IT capabilities that help government work better on behalf of all citizens.

  5. Transforming How We Work Together to Better Serve the Public • Use FEA models and workshops to advance: • Authoritative Communities of Practice around common business lines • Agile Frameworks for building intergovernmental services through repositories • Emergence of open standards, semantic technologies to “distill” context aware data and services needed by people and machines to solve problems within complex, adaptive systems. “In design, we either hobble or support people’s natural ability to express forms of expertise.” David D. Woods

  6. Sponsors • Architecture and Infrastructure Committee of the CIO Council (www.cio.gov): • Governance, Components, and Emerging Technology Subcommittees: • http://cio.gov/documents/architecture_subcommittee_charters.html • Social, Economic, and Workforce Implications of IT and IT Workforce Development Coordinating Group, (SEW), Interagency Working Group for Information Technology Research and Development • www.itrd.gov

  7. Sponsors • GSA’s Office of Intergovernmental Solutions (please complete the feedback form and give to Renee at the morning break) • www.gsa.gov/intergov • Best Practices Committee of the CIO Council • Knowledge Management WG, Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice (SICoP) • KM.gov • Web-services.gov

  9. eGovernment Drivers • The eGov Act of 2002: • SEC. 207. ACCESSIBILITY, USABILITY, AND PRESERVATION OF GOVERNMENT INFORMATION. • SEC. 212. INTEGRATED REPORTING STUDY AND PILOT PROJECTS. • The Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Data and Information Reference Model (DRM) • See past presentation on Harmonizing Semantics in E-Government (April 22,2002) at web-services.gov

  10. eGovernment Drivers • The Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Data and Information Reference Model (DRM): • Volume 1 –Will be released soon with guidance to the agencies. • The E-Government Act 2002, Section 207, Interagency Committee on Government Information, will use top two layers of the DRM structure for categorization of government information (see next slide). • The E-Government Act 2002, Section 212, calls for a series of no more than 5 pilot projects that integrate data elements to encourage integrated collection and management of data and interoperability of Federal Information systems. • Data Management Strategy – In process and draft to be released soon. • Have several critiques of the ISO 11179 to improve the DRM Model including the suggested use of the Meta Object Facility (MOF) from the Object Management Group (OMG) by MetaMatrix (see slide 16). • Volumes 2-4 – To Be Released by Fall 2004 DRM business context, DRM information exchange, and DRM data elements.

  11. Today’s Workshop Purpose: To explore the Potential and Realities of Multiple Taxonomies: How Can Citizens, Business, and Public Servants Traverse the Repositories and Workings of Government? Thank You To MICHEL BIEZUNSKI For organizing this workshop!

  12. Questions • How can vast government holdings, together with the stewards of these holdings, become better knowledge assets for both researchers and citizens? • How can the evolution toward open standards-based, interoperable “discovery” tools multiply the value of these “intangible assets” to researchers, businesses, and interested citizens?   • How can we organize around “multiple meanings” to accommodate multiple perspectives, over time and across languages, while navigating “oceans of data and information”? • How can the emerging technologies of the Semantic Web, Web Services, and Grid Computing improve how we organize, learn and share public “Knowledge Assets” throughout society? • How can the collective understanding that emerges from this process contribute to the maturation of the Federal Enterprise Architecture and other Knowledge Management Strategies?
