NNEC Definition
NNEC is the Alliance’s ability to NNEC is the Alliance’s ability to integrate the various components integrate the various components of the operational environment, of the operational environment,

NNEC Data Strategy Goals
Key Goals Key Actions: Make Data Assets Available to the
Enterprise:
– Use metadata to describe and advertise data assets (e.g., documents, web pages, images, etc)
– Create data asset catalogs and organize by community-defined structure (ontology)
– Make Data Assets available to “shared space” where Enterprise users can access it
Make System Data and Process Available to the Enterprise:
– Define and register the format and semantics of system data and processes
– Provide reusable/easy-to-call access services to make system data and processes available to the Enterprise
