Priority Objective 8: Discovery and Access

Define and implement common processes and standards to support automated policy-based discovery and access decisions.

Steward

Information Integration Subcommittee (II SC) of the ISA IPC

Problem Statement

The lack of an automated, policy-based decision approval process restricts information discovery, access, and delivery of high-value datasets. Current disparate, overly bureaucratic policies across the Federal Government result in a time-consuming approval process for information discovery and access.

Desired Outcome

Better defined, common processes and policy standards supporting automated, policy-based decisions will provide a government-wide management framework to enable more efficient and cost-effective use of information sharing and safeguarding best practices.

Approach

Complete requirements development process for a broad-based approach to automated discovery and access and subsequently establish a state-of-the-art digital policy to support discovery and access, which leverages current Federal Government and commercial capabilities.
