Federal Chief Architects Forum

Sponsored by:  Federal CIO Council, Architecture and Infrastructure Committee, and ACT-IAC

Seminar Information:

Date and Time: Tuesday, February 24, 8:30 am to 12:00 am

Topic: VUE-IT an EA Tool to help us map our future

Location: American Institute of Architects (AIA) Building, 735 New York Avenue NW, 2nd Floor Auditorium, Washington, DC (The AIA Building is at 18th and E Streets, NW, Across from GSA and directly behind the historic Octagon House)

By Metro: Take the Blue or Orange Line to Farragut West; exit the Metro on 18th Street and walk in the direction of the Mall to the above location

Description: You are invited to the first seminar of the 2009 Architecture Plus Seminar Series.  We look forward to a productive series this year.  We will open the series with an exploration of the Industry Advisory Council’s (IAC) Transition Study Group papers on topics like Innovation and Strategic Budget and Performance. Mark Forman (KPMG) and former Federal CIO/e-Gov leader will share his opinions.

The session will continue with OMB’s recently launched Enterprise Architecture tool VUE-IT or V isualization to U nderstand E xpenditures in I nformation T echnology.  VUE-IT is elegant in its simplicity as it enables its users a level of transparency into IT investments or a look “under the hood” that can reveal opportunities for Agencies to leverage each others’ IT investments when planning and developing segments and solutions for delivery of services to citizens.  
One of the key objectives of our session is to solicit ideas from attendees on ways to further improve and utilize the capabilities of VUE-IT.

Our discussion will be led by John Sullivan, Chief Architect for EPA and currently part of the FEA PMO. We will examine how using VUE-IT provides us:

• The potential to advance the development and enhancement of enterprise solutions, and expand them into areas not yet developed;
• The ability to identify areas where we can most effectively apply EA to help achieve the new Administration’s agenda; and
• How to use VUE-IT together with other currently available EA tools such as:
  • SOA
  • Federal Segment Architecture Methodology (FSAM),
  • NIEM
  • FTF

We also hope to leverage the analytical capability of VUE-IT to identify future ArchitecturePlus Seminar Series topics and agendas.

Federal agencies are beginning to use Enterprise Architecture as context and method for developing and implementing a coordinated set of security and privacy controls at the enterprise, segment, and solution/system levels.  Though in the early stages, cross-community dialogue and polices are emerging to integrate and align security, privacy, and architecture concepts.  Evidence of this is seen in the recently released NIST Special Publication 800-37 (Guide for Security Authorization of Federal Information Systems), the update to SP-800-39’s Risk Management Framework, the development of “continuous monitoring” procedures, and the interdisciplinary development approach being taking in creating version 3.0 of the FEA Security and Privacy Profile, scheduled for release for initial comment in the fall.
 
This symposium will bring subject matter experts to the table to focus on these issues.

ArchitecturePlus Seminar

Sponsored by: Federal CIO Council, Architecture and Infrastructure Committee, and Industry Advisory Council

Date and Time: Friday, August 8, 2008, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Registration is from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM

Topic: The Practical Guide to Federal Service Oriented Architecture – Implementing SOA Using the Practical Guide

Location: American Institute of Architects (AIA) Building, 1735 New York Avenue NW; 2nd Floor Auditorium, Washington, DC 20006

By Metro: Take the Blue or Orange Line to Farragut West - take the 18th Street Metro exit - walk toward the Mall on 18th Street.

Just about every federal agency is in the process of adopting SOA in some fashion – from experimenting with shared services to developing enterprise-wide service architectures. The results to date are mixed.  In June 2008, the Federal CIO Council/Architecture and Infrastructure Committee issued a guidance document to assist agencies in determining the steps they should undertake to make most effective use of this new business and IT paradigm.  This symposium will provide an introduction to the Practical Guide and will bring subject matter experts to the table to discuss issues associated with making SOA a more effective tool for government agencies.

The Enterprise Architecture – Shared Interest Group uses a survey form to keep in touch with the needs of enterprise architect practitioners. We use the survey to help calibrate how we allocate our resources to serve the community.  Attached you will find a copy of the latest EA survey results.  We think you will find the results of the survey enlightening.  Should anyone not have participated in the survey and would like to do so, we would welcome their responses.  A link to the survey instrument is attached for that purpose.

Topic: Healthcare Architecture: Information Sharing and Interoperability

Location: American Institute of Architects (AIA) Building, 1735 New York Avenue NW , 2nd Floor Auditorium, Washington, DC.

By Metro: Take the Blue or Orange Line to Farragut West. Take the 18th Street Metro exit. Walk toward the Mall on 18th Street.

Description:

• The Architecture Plus March 18th Seminar will focus on the Federal Healthcare Architecture, its use of the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) Profile, lessons learned and the portability of the ISE to other cross jurisdictional enterprise initiatives such as Criminal Justice, Department of Defense Business Transformation, Transportation and Emergency Response. The session will review the status of the use of standards and inter-operability projects.
• In addition, participants will be introduced to a new initiative sponsored by the Enterprise Architecture – Shared Interest Group of the Industry Advisory Council, LIFT (Leverage, Integrate, Focus and Transfer).  LIFT focuses on ensuring that progress made to date in maturing the discipline of Enterprise Architecture is translated into mission driven results for program managers.  LIFT focuses on examining specific enterprise solutions and the EA tools they have utilized in order to understand how to best leverage the lessons learned to maximize mission driven results for program managers.
• John Teeter – Deputy CIO of HHS will moderate the session and talk about the Information Sharing Environment Profile effort that this effort will complement. The panel will consist of Henry Chao, CTO of the Center for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS), Vish Sankaran, Fed eral Health Architecture Program Director of the HHS Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, Gary Washington, Chief Architect FDA, and Ken Ruben, EDS and HL7/OMG Service Lead.
• This session should generate extensive interaction and we expect numerous follow up sessions as part of LIFT (Leverage, Integrate, Focus and Transfer) which is a new initiative sponsored by the Enterprise Architecture – Shared Interest Group of the Industry Advisory Council (IAC) that focuses on leveraging and linking the many positive activities that are going on throughout the government.  LIFT is focused on ensuring that progress made to date in maturing the discipline of Enterprise Architecture is translated into mission driven results for program managers.  It focuses on examining specific enterprise solutions and the EA tools they utilized with the aim of understanding how best to leverage the lessons learned and maximize mission-driven results for program managers. The immediate focus of LIFT is on understanding the opportunities for defining an Information Sharing Environment (ISE) Profile.

Comment to John Dodd (February 27, 2008):

I noted in the ISE document the following (see below).

SICoP is supporting SI for the NHIN with Health Information Semantic Services

Best regards, Brand
 
Enterprise Architecture Framework Version 1.0, August 2007, Prepared by the Program Manager, Information Sharing Environment:

Section 5.4.3 Observations and Issues: A long-term strategy should consider formal semantic representations for the CTISS data and metadata elements to provide a stable foundation supporting precise common meanings, accurate translations, semantic search, semantics-based information extraction and integration, and effective analysis of shared information. Evaluation studies and prototypes are needed to pave the way for a semantic technology implementation roadmap that will provide the ISE and its stakeholders the benefits of semantic capabilities. For example, the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and Resource Description Framework Schema are beginning to be adopted as standards as the World Wide Web evolves into the Semantic Web. Creation of a prototype that evaluates the use of OWL for data exchange in the ISE should be considered.

Chief Architects Forum Quarterly Meeting

• Mr. Richard Burk, Chief Architect and Manager of the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Program within the Office of E-Government and Information Technology at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
  • Topic: Measuring the Value of an EA Practice.
    • The next step in EA maturity is measuring the value of an EA practice. That is, how can enterprise architects determine whether the Architecture is providing a sufficient return on investment? What improvements to agency mission or financial performance can be attributed in whole or in part to the effort of the agency EA program? Agency architects need an approach to measure the value of the EA initiative to those inside and outside of the agency who are consumers of the products of the EA. OMB FEAPMO will be presenting and vetting a new set of materials for agencies to measure the value of their EA practice.
