How the US Federal Government is Using XML

An Overview of Selected US Federal Agency Efforts

Abstract

XML is integral to the US Federal Enterprise Architecture. Its use is actively encouraged by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the E-Government Act of 2002. This paper provides a high-level view of a number of mature XML efforts in the US federal government, including efforts of the CIO Council, E-Government Initiatives, Dept. of Navy (DON), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), General Services Administration (GSA), Dept. of Justice (DOJ), Small Business Administration (SBA) and others.
