Priority Objective 10: Reference Architecture

Develop reference architecture to support a consistent approach to data discovery and correlation across disparate datasets.

Steward

Data Aggregation Working Group (DA WG) of the II SC, ISA IPC

Problem Statement

National security missions and operations are currently hindered due to a sub-optimized information sharing environment caused by non-standard means to discover, aggregate, and correlate data from disparate datasets.

Desired Outcome

Develop, implement, and sustain a data aggregation and standards framework that allows government and industry partners to efficiently discover, aggregate, and correlate data from disparate datasets and, if necessary, in a timeframe that allows users to execute critical time-sensitive operations.

Approach

The DA WG will identify required government-wide stakeholder capabilities to drive a single coordinated requirements document to inform development of an enterprise-wide architecture for the information sharing environment and associated reference architectures that together provide the strategic approach and technical roadmap to shape information systems and datasets to enable information access and discovery by authorized users, and to allow sharing of best practices.
