Published: January 31, 2003

 

MEMORANDUM TO: CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICERS

FROM: BOB HAYCOCK, FEA PROGRAM MANAGER, OMB

SUBJECT: REVIEW OF DRAFT SERVICE COMPONENT AND
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MODELS

The Federal Enterprise Architecture Draft Service Component Reference Model (SRM) and Technical Reference Model (TRM) have been released for Federal Agency review and comment. The SRM is a business-driven, functional framework that classifies service capabilities (or components) with respect to how they support an Agency's business and performance objectives. The SRM is intended to support major government-wide transformation and reform efforts.

The TRM is a component-driven, technical framework that identifies the standards and specifications that comprise a service component. The TRM is intended to supplement existing TRM and e-Gov guidance by providing a foundation to advance the reuse of technology and component services from a Government-wide perspective.

The draft reference models are described in a PowerPoint briefing, SRM_TRM_for_Agency_Review.ppt. This briefing has been posted to the Federal Enterprise Architecture Folder on the secure site of the Federal CIO Council Home Page. The Federal Enterprise Architecture – Program Management Office (FEA-PMO) requests that you share the briefing with those within your agency with a detailed understanding of your Agency's Enterprise and Component-Based Architectures and associated processes.

The FEA-PMO is developing an Agency Review and Comment Template to highlight the areas we would like you to consider during your review of the draft models, and to assist the PMO during comment review and consideration. We ask that you use the Template when submitting your agency’s comments to the PMO. The Template will also be posted to the Federal Enterprise Architecture Folder on the secure site of the Federal CIO Council Home Page.

The FEA-PMO will be collecting comments on the draft SRM and TRM through Friday,
March 7, 2003. Comments may be submitted in writing to Support@feapmo.gov. Alternatively, if you would prefer to meet and discuss specific issues regarding the draft SRM and TRM with the FEA-PMO, please contact Amie Ingber at (202) 395-0372 or Amie_Ingber@omb.eop.gov to schedule a meeting.

Thank you for your continued support for our efforts to develop the Federal Enterprise Architecture reference models.

Bob Haycock,
FEA Program Manager
