Requests for Proposal
The leading dates are the dates each RFP was originally issued... not
the date of any resulting specification.
20110624: The UML Profile for
NIEM RFP was issued in the Salt Lake City TC meeting in June
2011 as OMG Document gov/2011-06-04 by the Domain Technology
Committee. Click here for
the project page.
The objective of this RFP is to provide a standard for
modeling National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) artifacts
(Model Package Documents - MPDs) with UML. MPDs include numbered
releases, domain updates, and IEPDs (Please see Appendix A for
the glossary of terms).
This RFP solicits proposals for the following which together
shall comprise NIEM-UML:
- UML profiles for modeling NIEM MPDs; a logical profile
that will enable the development of Platform Independent
Models for NIEM content, and a second profile that provides
the parameters required to transform the logical model to
NIEM conformant XML schema and MPD specifications (the
Platform Specific Model)
- A transformation from UML models that conform to the
NIEM profiles (described above) to NIEM-conformant MPD
artifacts
- Optionally, a transformation from a NIEM-conformant XML
schema set (as defined by the NIEM NDR) to a UML model that
conforms to the profile(s)
- A UML representation of the NIEM controlled vocabularies
(reference namespaces) from which MPDs are constructed. This
UML representation must conform to the profiles mentioned in
the first bullet point.
- Status:
- Letters of Intent to submit are being received until
21-August-2011
- The Voting List is Open for registration until
01-January-2012
20091211: The Records Management
Services Version 2 RFP
was issued
in the Long Beach TC meeting in December
2009 as OMG Document
gov/2009-12-05 by the Domain Technology Committee.
Click here
for the project page.
The OMG adopted the Records Management Services
specification (Beta-1: http://www.omg.org/spec/RMS/1.0/Beta1/) in
June 2009. Provision for specifying context dependent Attribute
Profiles was established, but specific instances were not.
Additionally, no fine grained compliance points were defined.
Compliant implementations are constrained to implement the
specification in toto.
This RFP solicits proposals for the following:
-
The provision of one or more Attribute
Profiles minimally supporting DoD 5015.02 compliant Records
Management Environments.
-
The addition of compliance points to subset
service operations and profile attribution as it is affected by
the subsetting. This will allow RMS to be provisioned on a scale
that suits the business needs of diverse organizations.
- Status:
- The RFP LOI deadline has
expired; however, the GovDTF anticipates re-opening it in its
Minneapolis MN Plenary, 20100610.
- The Voting List is OPEN and accepting membership. It will
close 20100906.
20090626: The Model for Performance-Driven
Government (MPG) formerly titled
the Metamodel for Federal Segment
Architecture RFP (OMG Document
gov/2009-06-04) was Issued by the
Domain Technology Committee during its Plenary at OMG's San Josι
Costa Rica
Technical Committee Meeting, 26-June-2009.
Building on the FEA Practice Guidance, the
US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created the Federal
Segment Architecture Methodology (FSAM) for use by Executive
Branch agencies as a means of achieving more complete and
consistent segment architecture products; expediting development
of segment architectures; and enabling greater reuse of segment
architectures. To further these goals, the OMB has defined the
Enterprise Architecture Segment Report (EASR) as the standard
format through which agencies report on their performance and
progress developing segment architectures. Fundamental to both
the FSAM and EASR is the Metamodel for Federal Segment
Architecture (MFSA). The OMB and OMG have created a roadmap for
working collaboratively to create this metamodel as an industry
standard, enabling the development of commercial modeling tools
and repositories capable of managing, querying, retrieving, and
reporting segment architecture information. It is expected that
such tools will also provide comprehensive enterprise
architecture modeling and analysis capabilities for agencies
that build segment architecture models represented using the
MFSA.

20060630: The Records Management Services RFP
(OMG Document
gov/2006-06-11) was Issued by the Domain Technology Committee during its Plenary at
OMG's Boston Technical Committee Meeting, 30-June-2006. (Originally
named "MDA Models for Electronic Records Management Services",
it is now referred to simply as "Records Management Services")
This RFP is based on the requirements
defined by a Records Management Services Component
Interagency Project Team (RMSC IPT). Information on this
team and its work products is available on the project page,
http://gov.omg.org/gov-rfp-rms.htm. The OMG
status page (accessible to OMG members only) can be found
here.

20061208: The "Federal Transition
Framework" RFP (OMG Document gov/2006-12-02) was issued by the Domain Technology Committee
during its Plenary at OMG's Washington DC Technical Committee Meeting,
8-December-2006.
Championed by the US President's Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), this RFP is a follow on to the
Federal Transition Framework WhitePaper.

Whitepapers
20110620: "Transforming
Government IT With Architecture: Achieving Agility & Modularity"
On
December 9, 2010 Vivek Kundra, CIO of the US Federal government,
published the "25-Point Plan (the Plan) for Information
Technology Management Reform." (http://cio.gov/documents/25-Point-Implementation-Plan-to-Reform-Federal%20IT.pdf
}
On the
same day, William Lynn, Deputy Secretary of the Department of
Defense, signed out the following report to the Armed Services
Committee entitled "A New Approach (the New Approach) for
Delivering Information Technology Capabilities in the Department
of Defense."
(http://www.afei.org/WorkingGroups/section804tf/Documents/OSD_Sec_804_Report.pdf
)
This whitepaper out lines how the architectural principles and
disciplines can help achieve government's goals of Agility and
Modularity in Government IT Acquisitions.
20090320: "OMG Value Proposition for
Government Organizations"
The Object Management
Group's (OMG) Government Domain Task Force (GovDTF) has been
collaborating with government agencies around the world to
produce specifications supporting governmental missions and
goals designed to serve their citizens.
This whitepaper explores the value added to government agencies
through the use of OMGs Community Consensus Process and its
Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach to improving the
efficiency and effectiveness of information technology
capabilities and information sharing across all levels of
government: national, regional, and local.
20060926: The "Federal
Transition Framework Metamodel" Whitepaper was issued by the
Task Force during its plenary in Anaheim, 26-September-2006.
This paper
presents an introduction of the Federal Transition Framework
to the OMG community, and conversely introduces the OMG to
government agencies involved in the Office of Management and
Budget's FTF. The paper documents a process to coordinate
the separate life-cycle and governance processes of the two
organizations.
