  • No definitionof the handshake or partnering aspects of information exchange
  • Existing systems offer diffused content that isdifficult to manage , coordinate, and evolve
  • Information is inconsistent and/orclassified inappropriately
  • Without a common reference, data iseasier to duplicatethan integrate
  • No common method to share datawith external partners
  • Limited insightinto the data needs of agencies outside the immediate domain
  • Data and Informationcontext is rarely defined
  • Stove piped boundaries , no central registry
  • Lack of funding andincentiveto share
