7. Army Net-Centric Data Strategy Center Of Excellence (ANCDS)
The Army Net-Centric Data Strategy (ANCDS) Center of Excellence (ANCDS COE) was established to facilitate the execution of the Army Data Strategy while providing users with overarching data products and services to promote interoperability and faster access, retrieval, analysis and utilization of data.
Thus, the ANCDS COE provides uniform expertise to enable the migration to a net-centric environment via the establishment, production, and implementation of Communities of Interest (COIs) and their products.
The ANCDS COE supports the lifecycle from conception to the field by providing the services for data requirements generation, implementation, integration, and validation in support of the Army Data Strategy.

Data Governance Structure Summary

11. Fundamental Governance Components
APRC
Provides IT PfM governance across the army
Army
Enterprise
Provides the overarching governance and harmonization of data across the Army
Mission
Area
Subset of Army Enterprise to provide overarching governance and harmonization for the four mission focus:
Business MA (BMA) Defense Intelligence MA (DIMA)
Warfighting MA (WMA) Enterprise Information Environment MA (EIEMA)
Domain
Subsets of Army Mission Areas
Represent a common collection of related, or highly associated information capabilities and services
The governing bodies of the Community of Interests (COIs)
A collaborative group of users who must exchange information in pursuit of shared goals, interests, missions, or business processes and who therefore must have shared vocabulary for the information they exchanged
Provide an organization and maintenance construct for data such that data goals are realized
Define, evaluate and promote data interoperability standards including, for example, common vocabularies, ontologies, logical data models, entity and attribute definitions and XML data exchange schemas
Community
of Interest

12. Fundamental Component Responsibilities
Adjudicating issues that cannot be resolved at the Mission Area level
Providing Configuration Management support for Army Enterprise products
Giving direction and guidance on harmonization and integration across the enterprise
Army
Enterprise
Mission
Area
Defining Domains and Domain owners; Review Domain Governance
Mission Area architecture and capability planning
Cross Mission Area and enterprise coordination.
Manage Domain Portfolios and information capabilities
Ensure Community of Interest (COI) capabilities and Infrastructure are resourced
Domain architecture and capability planning; Identify Services
Facilitate information sharing among Domains
Domain
Community
of Interest
Develop semantic and logical agreements for data; Register COI data schemas and models
Identify Authoritative Data Sources (ADS)
Promote data sharing across the Army Enterprise

13. Direct Hierarchical Relationships
Army
Enterprise
Army Enterprise provides cross-Mission Area guidance for entities that cross Mission Areas
Army Enterprise is the authoritative source for the adjudication of unresolved data issues across Mission Areas, thus across the Army Enterprise
Mission
Area
Domain
Provides the governance necessary to facilitate harmonization of data, processes and configuration management within each Mission Area
Community
of Interest
Provides guidance and support to the COI
Ensures that all the products from COIs that fall within the Domain are harmonized

14. Indirect Hierarchical Relationships
Army
Enterprise
Mission
Area
Domain
Army Enterprise may delegate some of its responsibilities down to the domain
Community
of Interest
Army Enterprise could appoint a lead (one Mission Area, or the DHI) to govern a COI
Army Enterprise should govern any Enterprise COIs and provide the data products as they are de-conflicted with existing Mission Area products to all Mission Areas

15. Indirect Hierarchical Relationships (con’t)
Army
Enterprise
Mission
Area
Domain
Community
of Interest
Mission Area addresses the necessary harmonization of products that cannot be addressed by a single domain
