Re: National Strategy for Information Sharing & Safeguarding

Cory, Brand, et. al.

As Daniel Bennett remarked at one point on the last Conference Call, "sounds like a job for XSLT".  Yup.

As a practical matter, UTF-8 (used to comit legislation and regulations to paper) has some pictographs/icons which have structure and meaning, in some cases, different from hyperlink usesage.  An example is the Commercial At Symbol (@) ... it means the value of a unit quantity in a Bill of Materials or is a component in an email address.  These should be automagically transformed with XSLT rather than "marked up".  There are other suggestions[1].

Note: the XSLT also passes along any other Unicodes over U+00A0, so that Place Names with diacritics are unaffected.

Cory, Okay, so there are a finite number of strategies and you have people that like to mark them up manually. But do Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. that use  Hadoop use NIEM? NO!
 
I am preparing briefings for Congress and the Japanese Government and I do not see that NIEM is used in either big data or open government data.
 
Looking at David Webber’s work, I could conclude that Oracle may be a larger and better implementor of NIEM than “NIEM” itself!

Brand,
Re: I do not see any mention of “Big Data” in either NIEM or StratML. Will they apply or scale to “Big Data”?
 
I don’t see how it applies. NIEM is for information sharing, the repositories of information shared may certainly be “big data” but you would share only a portion – for that portion, NIEM is fine. So yes, this should architecturally scale to sharing “big data” information since it is orthogonal.  The underlying logical model may also be fine as a schema of the “big data” but that is not its design intent.
 
As for StratML, it is for strategies – how many strategies do you expect to have? This doesn’t seem like a big data thing either.
 
Big data technologies certainly have a place but let’s not try to apply the latest craze to everything.

The recently issued National Strategy for Information Sharing and Safeguarding is now available in StratML Part 1, Strategic Plan, format at http://xml.gov/stratml/drybridge/index.htm#NSISS 
 
It would be good if the implementation plan were to be published in open, standard, machine-readable StratML Part 2, Performance Plan/Report, format with designated roles and clearly specified performance indicators.

Doing so would be consistent with the provisions of section 10 of the GPRA Modernization Act (GPRAMA) as well as OMB Circular A-119. http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fxml%2Egov%2Fstratml%2Freferences%2FPL111-532StratML%2Ehtm%23SEC10&urlhash=V3md&_t=tracking_disc & http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ewhitehouse%2Egov%2Fomb%2Fcirculars_a119%236&urlhash=Dmb0&_t=tracking_disc
