On May 23, 2012, the administration issued a directive titled "Building a 21st Century Digital Government." It launched a comprehensive Digital Government Strategy (PDF/HTML) aimed at delivering better digital services to the American people. This web page will be updated regularly to reflect OCC progress in implementing its approach to the strategy.
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
1.2.4 Develop Data Inventory Schedule
Summarize the Inventory Schedule: The OCC is working on completing an Enterprise Dataset Inventory.
1.2.5 Develop Data Inventory Schedule – Milestones
Title: Provide reports to programs to identify metadata holes. Description: OCC uses its registry of IT Systems to identify datasets that may not be cataloged. Milestone Date: Ongoing Description of how this milestone expands the Inventory: This milestone allows OCC to identify and catalog new datasets that were not identified in the original 2013 Treasury data call. Description of how this milestone enriches the Inventory: This milestone brings new and important datasets into the OCC's Data Inventory. Description of how this milestones opens the Inventory: This milestones provides additional datasets that are publicly available through both occ.gov and data.gov.
1.2.6 Develop Customer Feedback Process Describe the agency's process to engage with customers: OCC interacts with the public on its data in numerous ways including public meetings/forums, feedback links on websites, webinars, FOIA Online, mailboxes, and help desks.
1.2.7 Describe the agency's data publication process:
2.1 Engage with customers to identify at least two existing major customer-facing services that contain high-value data or content as first-move candidates to make compliant with new open data, content, and web API policy (OCC)

5.2.1 Develop wireless and mobile inventory Bureau/Component: Telecom Inventory Status: Complete
5.3 Evaluate the government-wide contract vehicles in the alternatives analysis for all new mobile-related procurements (Treasury)
Overall status: Complete Describe Implementation: The General Services Administration (GSA) held a User Kickoff Meeting on June 27, 2013, to discuss use of the newly awarded Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) contract vehicles and published the GSA FSSI User Guide on February 14, 2014. 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. In the interim, Treasury has continued its focus on leveraging existing internal contracts for wireless services to provide the greatest value for current services.
