2. Legacy Database Registration and Rationalization
A datacall initiative similar to the FAM applications registration accomplished using DADMS
Major steps
DONCIO will be initiating this registration process on 1 Dec 2005
Database registration -- Steps 1-4 of the process (Fully supported by DADMS); Scope includes databases associated with FAM Approved and AWR applications only
Database rationalization – Steps 5-7 of the process (not fully implemented in DADMS); Products include Authoritative Data Sources, and Functional Area Data Architectures
Current status
FDM Council has refined registration steps
DADMS has fully implemented Steps 1-4 of the FDM process
Issues/Concerns/Risks
DART (GOTS tool) used during Steps 5-7 needs updating (requires work by DADMS staff)
Prospect of “yet another datacall” has some Functional Area communities concerned
Marine Corp participation in FDM process development has been nominal
