• Metadata for indexing, search, discovery, maintenance, registration, etc.

NIEM IEPD Overview
• NIEM IEPD Tiger Team originated in April 2006
• Purpose of this Tiger Team was to specify the requirements for building a NIEM IEPD
• Leveraged from GJXDM IEPD development guidelines

The IEPD Life Cycle
• A general framework for building IEPDs in logical steps.
• The primary process from the practitioner perspective.
• Provides a guide to understanding how IEPDs are ideally built and published.
• But … not prescriptive, IEPD builder …– Adjusts the scope of the framework
to the IEPD level of effort. – Enters the life cycle at appropriate step.
