Plans for Derived XML Registry Prototype
Problem: Proliferation of Narrowly-Focused
Standards, Policies, Legislation, Registries, Portals, etc.
Adoption Uneven Across Federal Government Departments & Agencies.
Reaction TO vs. Setting Requirements FOR IT Standards.

XML & XML-based StandardsOffer Solution, but No Panacea
XML Salvages Legacy Databases, Applications, Crosses Platforms, but … XML Schema Standard is Complex. Inconsistent Validation Remains. Work-arounds for Toolsets cause Backward
Compatibility Issues when Standards are Refined and Toolsets Improved.
Lack of Best Practices & Risks of Duplicate Terms in Vocabularies Possible.
Still, Improvement Continues.

Needs Drive Rush for Domain-Specific Standards
Similar Concerns Breed Similar Standards.
Overlap & ‘Scope Creep’ Inevitable. Specialization Standards Can be
Separate from the Generalized Standards in the Same Domain, such as Optometry in Healthcare.
Key Terms can have many Standards, such as ‘Person.’

Government Cross Department, Cross Agency Effort Small,
Voluntary but Growing.
Presidential Management Agenda for ‘Citizen-Centric Government’ Emphasizes Importance of E-Government, Continues Second Decade of IT Efficiency Effort.
Transition Underway from ‘Early Adoption’ to ‘Leadership’ in Open Standards Adoption Post Y2K.

Legislation & Policy Results:
Well-Intended, very Smart in some Specifics, Overly Specific in others.
Creates Confusion-What to do First? Duplicated Provisions, Restated
Objectives, Unstated Implications. Specifies Process and Outcomes such
as Sharing Resources among Agencies without Clear Priorities & Criteria.
Overall: Normal, Improving.

A Start: XML Registry of Existing Standards & Specifications
Using Firstgov.gov: Evaluate Methods to Automate or Assist in
Populating an XML Registry of Governmentally-Used or -Related Documents, Standards.
Evaluate Making the Registry Selectively Available using ebXML Registry and eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) to Restrict Access by Identity Authentication and Role-Based Permissions.
Evaluate the Extent of the Task of Using a Prototype Process to Develop a Centralized and Federated XML Standards Registry to Support the IT Investment Tasks of Governmental Agencies.

A Start: XML Registry of Existing Standards & Specifications
Using Firstgov.gov: Method 1: WSRP Standard- Plumtree Web Crawler
Portlet Makes Results Available by Web Browser in Humanmarkup.org Public Service Portal.
Method 2: Use OWL to Search site by Ontological Rules to identify and sort .xml and .xsd files by Relationships to Criteria Keywords or Phrases, such as Healthcare Services or Emergency Event Types.
Method 3: Use Strawman Search Standard(s) to Discover Requirements for an XML-Specific Search Standard from this Registry Use-Case to be used in a Prototype Government XML Standards Registry.

A Start: XML Registry of Existing Standards & Specifications
Using Firstgov.gov: How many & which documents? Are or Refer to XML? Are or Refer to XSD?
Identify, Sort, Index. XSDs that are Standards. XSDs that are Agency- or Company-Specific. Extract XSD Elements, Attributes,
complexTypes, simpleTypes, etc. Check for Duplicate Terms & Definitions-
Compare and Contrast.

What does Our Search Tell Us? Apply Ontological Categorization
Make Ontology of Lines of Business. Make Ontology of Cabinet Departments and
their constituent Agencies. Search by Ontological Criteria for Terms. Identify Similar or Identical Terms. Identify Number of Occurrences of Terms. Identify Departments & Agencies using
Specific Terms.
