  3. The ET.gov vision moves to simplify and enhance the support of emerging technologies • Desired Outcome—Well coordinated availability of logically separable technology components for potential Government-wide usage that utilizes a sustainable, self-supporting process for the technical assessment of emerging technologies • Key Benefits • Promotes information sharing about emerging technologies across the Federal community-- facilitates the development of communities of practice around components • Allows the IT innovation live-cycle to be managed on a Government-wide basis • Accelerates discovery, validation, and maturation of FEA technology components that improve Federal performance and the delivery of citizen services • Provides for a better coordinated and more productive response to component submissions in support of the eGov initiatives and within the framework of the FEA February 17, 2005 ET.gov Presentation---Joint AIC Meeting

  4. The ET.gov vision incorporates an 8-stage, phased process and approach • Stage 1: Identification—Information regarding proposed components is registered with the ET.gov site and the information is indexed and made available for browse/search • Stage 2: Subscription—.gov persons (and others) indicate their level of interest in proposed components by subscribing to them • Stage 3: Stewardship—The ET Subcommittee accepts stewardship for proposed components • Stage 4: Graduation—Proposed components “graduate” to the Components Subcommittee upon approval by the ET Subcommittee and become candidates for CORE.gov • Stage 5: Budgeting—Components are included in the President’s budget and potentially in line-item funding by Congress • Stage 6: Acquisition—Components are acquired for use in .gov IT applications • Stage 7: Maintenance—Components are maintained throughout their life-cycle • Stage 8: Retirement/Replacement—Components are retired/replaced as needed February 17, 2005 ET.gov Presentation---Joint AIC Meeting

  6. Accomplishments since official kickoff in January 2005 • Developed scope of and requirements for Stage 1 capability • Developed a working model of the ET.gov site—first demonstration today • The following features will be shown: • Online entry form with: • Component information • Submitter information (Organization/Representative—Optional) • XML instance creation • eMail confirmation/security mechanism • Unique component identification • Indexing • Additional updates are pending, and will include feedback received today February 17, 2005 ET.gov Presentation---Joint AIC Meeting

  7. A series of updates have been identified for the ET.gov XML Schema • The initial schema has been inherited from the earlier work done by Betty Harvey and Ken Sall, and will be updated as needed for Stage 1 • Planned updates for Stage 1: • Incorporation of constructs from other initiatives (more on next slide) • Updates to various elements for additional semantic clarity • Additional categorization mechanisms (e.g. IMO Commercial Product Reviews categorization scheme) • Identification of domain (Information Technology, Health, Environment, etc.) as attribute on root element • Addition of a submission ID (will be valuable for submission modifications) • Removal of document-oriented elements • Others as necessary February 17, 2005 ET.gov Presentation---Joint AIC Meeting

  8. Incorporate constructs from XML schemas for other initiatives for increased interoperability and enhanced association • We are in the process of reviewing the following initiatives for Stage 1 incorporation: • Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) • Examples of constructs we can potentially incorporate: • RelationshipType (complex type) • lastUpdatedDate (attribute) • lastUpdatedtime (attribute) • AddressType (complex type) – various subcomponents • OrganizationType (complex type) – various subcomponents • Intelink Management Office (IMO) Commercial Product Reviews schema (Joe Rockmore) • Examples of constructs we can potentially incorporate: • statusCode (simple type) – for review status • location (content model) – various subcomponents • homePage (element) – home page of organization • product (content model) – various subcomponents • functionality (content model) – functionality categories for product February 17, 2005 ET.gov Presentation---Joint AIC Meeting

  9. Demonstration: Component Identification (Stage 1) • Look and feel • Component submission • Mandatory and optional fields • Email security • Creation of XML instance February 17, 2005 ET.gov Presentation---Joint AIC Meeting

  10. Feedback on the demonstration • Recommendations • Concerns • Questions February 17, 2005 ET.gov Presentation---Joint AIC Meeting

  11. Next Steps • Enhance/expand ET.gov web-site capability including • Browse/Search capability—site-driven and potential 3rd party pilots • Indexing capability—site driven and potential 3rd party pilots • XML upload capability • Finalize XML schema updates • Continue to evaluate/leverage complementary initiatives • Conduct usability testing leveraging BLS lab • Launch ET.gov site on March 30, 2005 at GOVCON05 • http://www.ncsi.com/govcon05/index.shtml • Plan/budget for future work on Stages 2 - 4?
