1.2.4 Develop Data Inventory Schedule - Summary
Summarize the Inventory Schedule
Given the volume and complexity of Commerce's data, we have worked with OMB and GSA to build an EDI that complies with OMB policy. However, we are still working to fully integrate our millions of data sets into a single data-management system.
1.2.5 Develop Data Inventory Schedule - Milestones
| Title | Milestone 1 - Expand and Open EDI |
|---|
| Description | The Department of Commerce will initially focus on expanding and opening its Enterprise Data Inventory. To this end, the Open Government Senior Leaders, in collaboration with Agency CIOs, Data Stewards, and the Data.gov Points of Contact, will continue to work with Commerce Office of Open Government and Privacy to identify, prioritize and submit additional public, non-public, and restricted-public datasets to the Department. In addition, the Open Government Senior Leaders and Data.gov Points of Contact will continue the development of an Open Data process and guidance that expedite the publication of its datasets in the future. At the end of Q1, Commerce will submit an updated EDI to OMB. Over the second quarter, from February 28 to May 31, Commerce and its component bureaus will continue to input into its EDI additional datasets. The Department will also continue to collaborate with its Data Stewards to update its customer feedback and outreach efforts. At the end of Q2, Commerce will submit an updated EDI to OMB. |

| Milestone Date | February 28, 2014 |
|---|
| Description of how this milestone expands the Inventory | The Department’s Enterprise Data Inventory (EDI), as defined by OMB guidance, is the same as the Public Data Listing (PDL) in that none of the public data assets in the Department’s data catalog have been redacted. |
|---|
| Description of how this milestone enriches the Inventory | As part of an ongoing effort, the Department is making every effort to conduct and publish a comprehensive inventory of our total data assets. However, due to the size, history and complexity of the Department of Commerce’s Bureaus, the current inventory available on commerce.gov/data.json represents less than 1 percent of the actual enterprise. |

1.2.6 Develop Customer Feedback Process
Describe the agency's process to engage with customers
Since the last milestone report, the following actions were taken in order to improve the Department’s mechanisms for public feedback:
• Added functions to our data.commerce.gov web page that include a “suggest a dataset” web form and also an “Engage” set of tools to connect via social media.
• Went live with a public, Department-level Github account that is publishing public repos and responding to issue posts.
• Started hosting “office hours” with the Office of the Chief Data Officer where the public will be able to present questions and comments
• Launched the Commerce Data Advisory Council that is, among other things, seeking to channel industry feedback for the entire Department.
