Description

During an "Industry Day" of the President's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on 13-July-2006, Dick Burk, OMB Chief Architect announced that the OMB and the Object Management Group's (OMG) Government Domain Task Force (GovDTF) have agreed to work together using OMG's community consensus process to define an industry consensus specification for the OMB's new Federal Transition Framework (FTF)

The Government Domain Task Force activated the work item between its June 2006 (Boston) and September 2006 (Anaheim) meetings.

GovDTF formed a "Federal Transition Framework Metamodel Subgroup" under its US Government Working Group (USWG) to address this work item. This work item dovetails with another work item on the USWG Roadmap, "A UML Profile for the Federal Enterprise Architecture" which was launched June 2006 during the GovDTF's meeting in Boston.

This white paper was issued by the GovDTF in its meeting in Anaheim CA during the last week of September 2006, reflecting work done to-date and outlining the joint OMB/OMG FTF program. Following this white paper, the Federal Transition Framework Metamodel Subgroup will execute an RFP to provide a full OMG specification using the OMG's process for industry consensus.

Objectives:

To produce an industry consensus OMG MDA specification for the Federal Transition Framework in support of the President's Office of Management and Budget.

Related Task:

In support of authoring the Whitepaper, a Strawman XML Schema of the UML model of the Federal Transition Framework presented in the OMB Document FTF Metamodel Reference.
