MDA Architecture Requirement• National MDA CONOPS

• Describes a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA) with User Defined Operational Picture (UDOP)

• Core services should include discovery, collaboration, mediation, messaging, security, storage, and enterprise management (performance monitoring and configuration management)

• Develop initial services-based architecture focusing on national information products and utilizing existing SOA-based services

• MDA Architecture Management Hub Strategy• Approved by National Maritime Coordination Office• Identified “As-Is” and “To-Be” plans

Initial Focus Areas• Initial Focus Areas:

1. Vessel position/tracks-Based on applicable OTH-Gold messages

2. Arrival reports for vessels bound for U.S. - based on SANS data and eANOA collections

3. Indicators & Notifications- Based on NORTHCOM VOI lexicon

4. MOTR information exchanges- Based on standards messages used by MOTR

5. Biometric & Identity Information Exchange - Pending biometrics working group standard

NIEM• National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) is a

joint DOJ/DHS program started in 2005, to promote standardization of information exchange for jurisdictional information sharing

• The NIEM program provides tools used across the USG for enabling interoperability at the data layer within and across systems supporting information sharing, while preserving investments in current technology and optimizing new technology development.

• OMB directed ‘evaluation’ of NIEM for Executive Branch• "By 5/1/2010, all agencies shall evaluate the adoption and use of the

National Information Exchange Model as the basis for developing reference information exchange package descriptions to support specification and implementation of reusable cross-boundary information exchanges. A cross-boundary information exchange is one that crosses a bureau or agency boundary, including information sharing with international, State, local, tribal, industry, or non-governmental organization partners.”

Components of NIEM

Built and governed by the business users at Federal, State, Local, Tribal and Private Sectors

Repeatable, reusable process for business users to document information exchange requirements

A Common Vocabulary with terms, definitions, and formats - independent of an individual agency’s database management systems
