Stage 3 - Stewardship
During Stage 3
of the ET.gov process, the co-chairs of the CIO Council's (CIOC)
Emerging Technology Subcommittee agree to accept stewardship of
proposed ET components based upon the degrees of interest and
commitment embodied in the communities of practice (CoPs) formed around
them.
We do not have the resources to automate this stage yet nor have the
business rules for stewardship been formally determined. However,
such rules may include such criteria as high degrees of commitment to
the CoP among at least three individuals with high degrees of technical
expertise, representing at least three different companies or
organizations, together with at least three representatives of
government agencies possessing high degrees expertise in the
prospective business case for use of the component. In some
cases, leadership of the CoP by a government agency Chief Information
Officer (CIO), Chief Technology Officer (CTO), or other high-ranking
official may also be required or, at least, be taken into account in
determining priorities among candidate components for stewardship.
Stewardship does not necessarily imply any commitment other than
recognition that the CoP formed around an ET component or specification
appears to have sufficient resources to determine, in an unbiased
manner, its technical viability and utility. However, the ET
process may play a role in helping the CIOC determine priorities for
the allocation of any resources available for this purpose. For
example, components and specifications reaching this stage may be
considered at ET
Subcommittee Workshops. In any event, ET CoPs achieving the
requisite degree of critical mass for stewardship by the ET
Subcommittee will be listed here:
- XML Schema Interoperability Work Group (XSI WG),
formerly
Naming & Design Rules & Guidelines WG)
- Strategy Markup Language (StratML)
- Enterprise Architecture Management Guide (EAMG)
- IPv6 Work Group (IPv6)
- Records Management Service Components (RMSC)
The CIO Council's Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC) is
forming CoPs focusing on:
- Strategic Sourcing
- Consolidated Reporting Requirements
- Enterprise Collaboration and Shared Services
- Consolidated Federal Data Centers
- Performance Measures
Those CoPs will use MAX
for collaboration.
