OMB Context Definition (2VSI)
The FEA is a business-based framework for government-wide improvement. It describes the relationship between business functions and the technologies and information that support them. The FEA is being constructed through a collection of interrelated “reference models” designed to facilitate cross-agency analysis and the identification of duplicative investments, gaps, and opportunities for collaboration within and across federal agencies. For FY 2007, major IT investments should be aligned with each reference model within the FEA framework, except for the Data Reference Model. (2VSJ)
