OCC Digital Strategy

1. Make Open Data, Content, and Web APIs the New Default

1.1 Issue government-wide open data, content, and web Application Program Interface (API) policy and identify standards and best practices for improved interoperability (OMB)

This can be found here: Project Open Data

18F also has API resources here: Developer Program

1.2 Ensure all new IT systems follow the open data, content, and web API policy and operationalize agency.gov/developer pages (OCC)

Describe Policy: The OCC is working diligently to institutionalize and operationalize the development of IT systems as applicable with openness by default. We are implementing activities to ensure information is managed as an asset across the enterprise. Through the use of Software Development Lifecycle processes, we ensure that are development activities are consistent and reusable throughout the enterprise as well as secure within the data architecture and lifecycle. Activities included in the current implementation are the collection of business requirements, use of open data architectures, user centered design, documented naming standards, data modeling, security architect meetings, dataset publishing support processes, and an enterprise repository of requirements and code. We will continue enhance our development processes through Continuous Improvement as part of our Agile Scrum Development.

Overall Status: In Progress

1.2.3 Governance Tools

The OCC is considering an agency-wide API Strategy building upon 18F's API standards and using api.data.gov's API management platform. In addition, APIs produced by the OCC should be described using one of the common API definition formats (such as Odata, OpenAPI, Swagger, API Blueprint, and RAML). The strategy is being finalized and an agency-wide communication plan is being developed. This communication plan will include Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that require API developers to register dataset APIs.

Status: In Progress

Treasury continues to work closely with GSA to determine the most effective and cost efficient strategy for department-wide use of the FSSI awards, consistent with expiration of current contract performance periods. On final determination of our transition strategy, Office of the Procurement Executive (OPE) will issue related formal procurement policy; it remains the department's intent to use the GSA FSSI contract vehicles provided they offer the anticipated value. OPE has collaborated with Bureau Chief Procurement Officers (BCPOs) and with the Office of the Chief Information Officer to facilitate the appropriate internal analysis and planning.
