Registration is now open for Workshop on Information Sharing and Safeguarding Standards (WIS3), AKA Standards-Palooza, on December 5th in Washington DC! The intent of the event is bring together government and industry to discuss how standards based innovation can advance information sharing.
Although the event is organized by the Office of the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE), industry organizations AFEI, IJIS, ACT-IAC, and OMG are actively participating by leading breakout tracks on specific topics. The topics include:
-
OMG: Translation of Business Requirements to Technical Architectures
Translating business requirements to technical architectures to automate information sharing
-
AFEI: Identity and Access Management Across Government
Authenticating and authorizing ISE users to access information sharing systems data
-
IJIS: Federated Information Sharing Frameworks and Services
Messaging frameworks and services that can operate across agencies
-
ACT-IAC: Supporting Standardized Information Exchanges Across Government
Standardized information exchange models that enable interoperable information sharing
The hope is that this event is actually a kickoff for a set of other intiatives to advance the ISE, so stay tuned to the ISE website for more information.
Excited to be moderating a panel next Tuesday November 8th at the FOSE Enterprise Management Conference & Exposition entitled "EA and Information Sharing - From Intelligence to Assets". I will be joined by Emile Beshai from DHS, Glenn Cruickshank from Deloitte Consulting, and Sue Jaxel from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The high level description of the session:
Information sharing is at the heart of every agency’s mission – whether it’s in the areas of healthcare, citizen services, or national security. This panel will include two case-studies detailing how agencies within the intelligence and national security communities leveraged enterprise architecture to achieve real-time information sharing not only within the federal government, but across all internal and external domains. The first case-study will delve into the Department of Homeland Security’s SBU Portal Consolidation, which strengthened collaboration and information exchange with key partners in the federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, international, and private sectors. The second case-study will showcase the IC Enterprise Registry and Repository, an intelligence community enterprise capability that provides IT publishing, IT lifecycle management, and human discovery and retrieval to support the sharing of community assets.
Looking forward to a thoughtful and engaging discussion!
I grew up as a techie and first got hooked using an old Texas Instruments programming in Basic ("Hello World" app is my fav) and then learned the fun of "integration" making my PCjr actually run the old Sierra games I wanted to play. After a lot of fun at college, I found myself entrenched in the government technology world leading projects and integrating systems for the past 11+ years. I have extensive experience in technical project management, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Collaboration Technologies, Information Sharing, and Secure Systems Integration.
