Subject: FEA Data Reference Model (DRM) 2.0 Now Final
Hi All,
I am happy to announce that the FEA
Data Reference Model (DRM), which has been in process since February 2005, was
released publicly as final yesterday by the U.S. Executive Office of the
President, Office of Management and Budget (OMB[1]).
Its release was originally thought to be delayed until 4-6 more weeks,
but OMB surprised us (the DRM 2.0 initiative) by releasing it yesterday as
final, with no updates requested. The biggest change since the last draft is the
addition of guidance for federal agencies on how to use (implement) the DRM. I
have been supporting this initiative since it began.
This reference model, part of the
U.S. Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA), was developed in conjunction with a
124-member Working Group comprised of 30
A data management strategy is also
in process, and its release is planned for early 2006. An updated draft DRM XML
Schema is also in process (I have just released a draft for internal review by a
subgroup of the DRM initiative), and should be available publicly in early
2006.
If you have any questions on this
document, please let me know.
Happy
Holidays!
Joe
