This PPT slide, part of the 35-slide FEAF: Data Reference Model (DRM) PowerPoint presentation, outlines the Data Reference Model (DRM) and clarifies common misconceptions regarding its capabilities. It is divided into 2 sections: what DRM provides and what it does not provide.
On the left side, the slide lists several key offerings of DRM. It emphasizes that DRM serves as a reliable means for classifying agency data, which is crucial for effective data management. The model also assists agencies in characterizing their data architectures and linked objects, facilitating better planning for shared services. Another important function is its role in aiding reporting endeavors, particularly for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which enhances the maturity and use of Enterprise Architecture (EA). Additionally, DRM promotes inter-agency data assessment, allowing for improved communication and data reuse. The flexibility and scalability of DRM are highlighted, indicating that it can adapt to new subjects and topics as federal business models evolve.
The right side of the slide addresses misconceptions by explicitly stating what DRM does not provide. It clarifies that DRM is not static or invariant, nor does it serve as a manual for data architecture maintenance. The slide also points out that DRM is not a comprehensive conceptual data model applicable across all government entities. Furthermore, it does not include a collection of XML schemas or serve as a substitute for existing data structures within agencies.
Overall, the slide effectively communicates the essential functions of DRM while dispelling myths that could lead to misunderstandings about its purpose and limitations. This clarity is vital for agencies considering the implementation of DRM in their data management practices.
