Overview• In response to President Obama's commitment to openness in Government and to the

Open Government Directive, the National Coordination Office for Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NCO/NITRD) is making all of its NITRD budget data available to the public and our customers. This information comes from member Federal Agencies and is broken down over the following eight Program Component Areas (PCA)*:– CSIA Cyber Security and Information Assurance– HEC High End Computing (Broken into two groups)– HEC I&A: High End Computing Infrastructure & Application– HEC R&D: High End Computing Research & Development – HCI&IM Human Computer Interaction and Information Management– HCSS High Confidence Software and Systems– LSN Large Scale Networking– SDP Software Design and Productivity– SEW Social, Economic, and Workforce Implications of IT

• Note: * PCA: Program Component Areas were redefined in 2000. For more information on the pre-2000 PCAs, please refer to the NITRD Supplement to the President's Budget for that particular year, downloadable at http://www.nitrd.gov/open.

Overview• The NITRD Dashboard**

– Helps interested individuals better track funding trends and identify agencies with investments in technical areas of interest, which will enable entrepreneurs and grant seekers to better direct their efforts to engage the correct Federal agency.

• Data Sources– The data sources driving the NITRD Dashboard are the Agency NITRD Budget

Cross Cuts as reported in the NITRD Supplement to the President’s Budget. All data sources are available for download at http://www.nitrd.gov/open

Dashboard.• Note: **The NITRD Dashboard is viewable on the web using only Flash

supported devices.

Needs

• Need to Augment the NITRD Budget Spreadsheets with USA Spending.gov information as follows:– NSF Awards– NSF Work and Task Orders– NITRD Intermural Spending at USASpending.gov

• Need to Incorporate Semantic Technologies:– MindTouch Technical Communication Suite and TIBCO Spotfire

Professional, Metrics, and Network Analytics Software.– Semantic Medline: A Proof of Concept, Tom Rindflesch, NLM– Semantic Insights Reader Assistant, Chuck Rehberg, Semantic

Semantic MEDLINE [9] is a multiple-step tool in development that helps users manage the results of PubMed searches. The application extracts the succinct meaning of the text it processes and displays the resulting distilled data in an interactive graph that maintains links to the original text. Semantic MEDLINE proceeds in four steps: PubMed searching, extraction of semantic predications with SemRep, automatic summarization, and visualization.

Some Next Steps

• Add more NSF and NITRD Agency databases.• Produce more visualizations.• Use the Wiki and Spotfire databases in the

SIRA – Semantic Insights Research Assistant.• Explore access to the Semantic Medline

databases for SIRA.• Obtain feedback from the upcoming meetings.
