Comments from Brand Niemann, 3/04/04(Prepared
agendas deserve prepared comments!)

• The Component-Based Architecture White Paper now
  needs a strategy and examples (pilots) like the
  Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice
  is doing for the Data and Information Reference
  Model and like the Emerging Technology
  Subcommittee is doing for Emerging Technology
  Components (see below).
• The Emerging Technology Components
  Socialization Strategy and the Break Through
  Performance Life Cycle Examples (Pilots) are
  found at
• Componenttechnology.org (Fostering a Component
  Technology Marketplace for the FEA and
  E-Government) and
• See Six Special Recognitions given at the January
  26th Conference.
• Componenttechnology.Org has several online EA
  Resources (registries and repositories) that can
  be used by the Component Subcommittee for its new
  task
• (1) Emerging Technology Components Collaboration
  (2) Government Enterprise Architecture Framework
  (3) Topic Maps of E-Gov and EA Conferences (4)
  Noblestar/Flashline Enterprise Architecture and
  Component Asset Reuse (5) Federal Enterprise
  Architecture Capability Manager with Semantic
  Technologies and (6) the Federal Statistical
  Data DRM Pilot.

CIO Councils FY04 Strategic Plan

• Emerging Technology Subcommittee, Architecture
  Infrastructure Committee
• The mission is to provide a foresight mechanism
  that draws from FEA reference models and the
  capital planning and investment control process
  to create greater synergy between technology push
  cycles and market pull cycles in order to support
  a performance-based framework for innovation
  prototyping and adoption (bold added).

Break Through Performance Innovation Life Cycle

• SBIR Phase I (Feasibility Research) or the
  Equivalent.
• SBIR Phase II (Research Toward Prototype) or the
  Equivalent.
• SBIR Phase III (Product Commercialization) or the
  Equivalent.
• Small Business Innovation Research Program
  administered by the Small Business Administration
  with 10-15 agencies participating, with about 2
  Billion.
• Note First suggested to the Emerging Technology
  Subcommittee by the SBA/SBIR Program, at a June
  26, 2003, Workshop hosted by the SBA, and more
  recently by Drew Ladner, CIO, Department of the
  Treasury, in a proposal to the AIC Co-Chairs,
  November 17, 2003.

Advanced Foundations for American Innovation

• Annual Report on the Multiagency Networking and
  Information Technology Research and Development
  Program (NITRD), Supplement to the Presidents
  Budget for Fiscal Year 2004
• These investments continue to foster an
  unrivaled U.S. capacity for innovation-the
  Nations most vital resource for national
  security, economic development, and continuous
  improvements in living standards for all
  Americans. John Marburger III, Director, Office
  of Science and Technology Policy, Executive
  Office of the President.
