3. Business Case
• Federal Chief Information Officer Council Strategic Plan: FY 2007-2009:– Goal 1. A cadre of highly capable IT professionals
with the mission critical competencies needed to meet agency goals.
– Goal 2. Information securely, rapidly, and reliably delivered to our stakeholders. (see next slide)
– Goal 3. Interoperable IT solutions, identified and used efficiently and effectively across the Federal Government.
– Goal 4. An integrated, accessible Federal infrastructure enabling interoperability across Federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as partners in the commercial and academic sectors.

Goal 2: Information securely, rapidly, and reliably delivered to our stakeholders

Goal 2: Information securely, rapidly, and reliably delivered to our stakeholders
• Federal Sitemaps Initiative:– Interagency Focus: To open the records in databases,
or pages that lie behind other barriers to crawling, to search engine users.
• http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?FederalSitemaps
– EPA Focus: Structure unstructured EPA information, make EPA databases visible to search engine crawlers and users, consolidate EPA information to make it easier to use, and to provide semantic metadata and linking in support of DRM 3.0 and Web 3.0 applications.

3. Business Case
• Clay Johnson, Deputy Director for Management at OMB:– How does the Best Practices Committee do Best
Practices? (January 17th CIO Council Meeting):• See next slide.
• Mike McConnell, Director of National Intelligence:– Move the intelligence community beyond the "need to
share" philosophy toward a "responsibility to provide" model:
• March 6, 2007, GovExec.com, Intelligence chief establishes information-sharing panel.
13
3. Business Case
• Suggestion by BPC Co-Chair, George Strawn on a "Best Practices" Process, March 19, 2007:– 1. Request for Best Practices: A way for CIOs and their friends
to ask for help from other agencies (and others) as to what are best practices in a given activity.
– 2. Requests for Best Practicers: Present to the Best Practice Committee (as we have been doing).
– 3. Capture These Presentations: The audio/video as well as the materials that we already capture and make available over the Wiki.
• April 16th Pilot - Web 2.0: Tying It All Together in A Service System” with the KZO platform that integrates blogs, wikis, and other interactive Web 2.0 features. (see next slides)
– 4. Facilitate Access to and Awareness of These Materials: RSS and perhaps other techniques.

• Internet (Web 2.0 (Wikis)):– Math for: Wikis are part of Web 2.0 which are part of the
Internet.
• Web 2.0: Essential Essentials:– Refers to a perceived second-generation of Web based
communities and hosted services — such as social networking sites, wikis and folksonomies — that facilitate collaboration and sharing between users.
– Earlier users of the phrase "Web 2.0" employed it as a synonym for "Semantic Web," and indeed, the two concepts complement each other. The combination of social-networking systems such as FOAF and XFN with the development of tag-based folksonomies, delivered through blogs and wikis, sets up a basis for a semantic web environment.

“SOA provides the framework, AJAX provides the business value”“AJAX – The only way to bring SOA to the user”John Crupi, JackBe, May 10, 2007.
AJAX: Shorthand for “Asynchronous Javascript and XML,” a web developmenttechnique for creating interactive web applications by exchanging small amountsof data with the server behind the scenes so the entire web page does not have tobe reloaded each time the user requests a change.

• The Web Browser is also an Editor!– Original intention of Web-inventor Sir Tim Berners-
Lee.– Simple demo of editing a Wiki page.
• The Web Browser provides a richer experience!– See KZO Networks, Washington Post – Newsweek
Interactive, and Library of Congress as examples.
• The content is also delivered to more than a Web Browser!– PDAs, Cell Phones, and Other Gadgets.
Social Media: RSS, blogs, podcasts, wikis, and others.

• SOA in a Semantic Wiki: A Story About Communication:– Start developing Community of Interest-based
Vocabularies as OWL models immediately.– Generate XSD’s to facilitate the use of existing
infrastructure directly from the OWL models.– Begin a program of representing service based
information as RDF.– Build applications that access the RDF representation
using the previously developed OWL models through SPARQL/reasoner engines.
