Original Motivations
• Render all .gov forms in XML & gather the data from them in XML
• Specify a core set of XML metatags for the classification & management of records governmentwide

Originally Chartered Activities1) Develop XML Best practices and Recommended Standards
2) Develop Partnerships with Key Industry and Public Groups Developing XML Standards and Specifications
3) Develop Partnerships with Existing Federal "Vertical" Communities to Accelerate the Delivery of XML Benefits
4) Conduct "Results-Oriented" Education and Outreach

Additional Activity in 2nd Charter
5) Propose for consideration by the AIC specific projects and products benefiting stakeholders of multiple Federal agencies
• CIOC intended to take more “operational” role• Subsequently found resources lacking• Congress cut cross-agency funding
– Including $2.1 million requested by the President for the XML Registry
• Business Case estimated ROI ranging from 500 – 1400%http://xml.gov/documents/completed/bah/registryBusinessCase.htm#_Toc19694635

Additions in 3rd CharterContinue previously authorized activities while focusing
on:a) Assisting with implementation of the emerging
technology (ET) life-cycle management processb) Facilitating collaboration on and review of XML-based
"components" within that process
The XML Working Group (XML WG) was renamed as the XML Community of Practice (xmlCoP)

Addition in 4th & Current CharterContinue previously chartered activities while:• Coordinating with and supporting the activities of the Data
Architecture Subcommittee (DAS) and Services Subcommittee, as well as the Governance Subcommittee of the AIC
The CIOC/AIC• Created the DAS to emphasize data architecture as a
priority, and• Renamed the Services S/C to focus on services already
available for reuse

Accomplishments• Education & Outreach
– xml.gov site– Meetings/briefings virtually every month for 6 years
• See Agendas, Minutes & Presentations• ET.gov Site/Process
– About 80 components/specifications so far• See search results screen & i411 & BTS prototype
– 14 CoPs at Stage 2– 5 at Stage 3– 2 have “graduated” at Stage 4
• PDF-A & X3D included in the FEA TRM

Stage 3 CoPs

![Page 14: History, Charter & Challenges Facing the XML Community of Practice (xmlCoP) Owen Ambur, Co-Chair Emeritus xmlCoP/XBRL CoP Forum @FOSE March 20, 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0e5503460f94af7bf5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Remaining Challenges
• XML Registry Services• Emerging Technology Process Enhancements• XML Schema for Data Reference Model• XML Naming & Design Rules & Guidelines • Original Motivations:
– XML schemas & data from all .gov forms– XML metatags for records management/sharing
14
![Page 15: History, Charter & Challenges Facing the XML Community of Practice (xmlCoP) Owen Ambur, Co-Chair Emeritus xmlCoP/XBRL CoP Forum @FOSE March 20, 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0e5503460f94af7bf5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
XML Registry Services
• Collaborative development/use of XML schemas• Still too hard to discover & reuse
– Centralized registry has highest ROI– Distributed set of interoperating registries preferred– Posting XSDs on Web with appropriate metadata may
be best alternative• Build registries from the bottom-up
– See Registries page on xml.gov site

![Page 16: History, Charter & Challenges Facing the XML Community of Practice (xmlCoP) Owen Ambur, Co-Chair Emeritus xmlCoP/XBRL CoP Forum @FOSE March 20, 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0e5503460f94af7bf5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ET.gov Site/Process Enhancements
• More effective & well-coordinated consideration of ET by .gov agencies– Dampen hype cycle– Accelerate maturation & adoption
• Enhancement of ET.gov site & process– See proposed enhancement requirements

![Page 17: History, Charter & Challenges Facing the XML Community of Practice (xmlCoP) Owen Ambur, Co-Chair Emeritus xmlCoP/XBRL CoP Forum @FOSE March 20, 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0e5503460f94af7bf5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
XSD for DRM
• One of “Key Indicators” in CIO Council’s Strategic Plan is:– All of the e-Gov and Lines of Business (LoB)
project management offices have fully documented data architectures in conformance with the XML schema for DRM 2.0
• Problem:– XSD for DRM is merely in draft form
• http://xml.coverpages.org/FEA-DRM-SchemaDraftV04-20060103.xsd
– Not yet “authoritative”

XML NDRG
• Various groups specifying own XML naming & design rules (NDR)
• Not all make sense in all contexts• Guidelines may be more appropriate than rules in
some instances• Difficult & complex to apply• Tool support required
– NIST & XML Schema Interoperability Work Group• https://collab.core.gov/CommunityBrowser.aspx?id=2234
