The document discusses the development of a core data model for an organization to guide system development, enable review of potential applications, and provide a basis for interoperability. It identifies four fundamental data classes and two key initial services focused on research projects and identity management. Stakeholders have provided positive feedback and support moving forward with an immediate focus on a lightweight request record system and integrating various data sets.

1. Core Data Model

2. Role Guides system development according to architecture Enables review of pilots and other potential applications and systems Basis for interoperability and integration

3. Enterprise Architecture October 2007 – positive response from suppliers 4 fundamental data classes Minimal data dictionary SOA approach 2 key services identified LRR (based on Research Project class) Identity Management (based on People class)

4. Since October Market review – pilots proposed for various systems inc EDGE, IRAS MIS URS Lite identified as an immediate deliverable, focussing on LRR and study management Strong support for LRR model from senior business stakeholders People project gets under way First stage in alignment of IRAS and Portfolio datasets IRAS agrees to use Govt data standards for people and organisations Engaged with ‘TRUD’ (!) – the CFH Terminology Reference Update Service – they will provide Organisational codes - they also use web services to provide updates
