FROM:
Dan Chenok
RE: Final XML Schema for FY2005 Exhibit 300s
A number
of suggestions have been made to improve the XML schema used
to transmit submission of FY 2005 budget information. Based
on those suggestions, attached is the revised XML schema to
be used for the FY2005 budget submission of Agency Exhibit
300s. The schema will also be posted at the FEAPMO.gov and
cio.gov websites. This will be the final schema. Below is
a summary of the improvements to the schema, which are designed
to assist you in completing the information and transmitting
it to OMB more smoothly, as well as information about data
types & validation. Within the next few weeks OMB will
send out detailed instructions for the electronic submissions
of your IT budget data including information about test submissions,
should your agency wish to do so.
Please direct any questions or comments to Kimberly Nelson
at knelson@omb.eop.gov.
Thank
you very much.

Summary
of Enhancements:
- I.C.
Performance Goals & Measures: In the original schema
Table 2 was
required for all investments. This is now optional because
only new IT
investments that are development, modernization, or enhancement
(DME) for 2005
and beyond must use Table 2 and are required to use the
FEA Performance
Reference Model.
- I.G
Acquisition Strategy, question 8: We changed dollar field
to percentage
- IG
Acquisition Strategy: Deleted these elements because they
are not being
used
<xs:element name="typeOfContractTaskOrder"
type="omb:richText" />
<xs:element name="discussMultipleContractTypes"
type="omb:richText" />
- I.H.4
Actual Performance and Variance: The schema now accommodates
a larger
range of percentages including negative percentages. It
is now a percentage
simple type validation from 0 to 100 to -999 to 1000
