Figure 7-8: US DOI DRM Classification Schemes
Classification scheme (3), which provides business context using the AGA BRM, represents part of the AGA
BRM taxonomy. One particular sub-function topic (‘Recreational Resource’) is shown, along with the parent
hierarchy topics for LoB (‘Natural Resources’) and Business Area (‘Service for Citizens’). The RECREATION-
AREA entity is related to the AGA BRM sub-function of ‘Recreational Resource’, which establishes the business
context for this entity. This indicates that data about a RECREATION-AREA is typically created, updated,
processed or deleted by systems that support the Recreational Resource sub-function.
Classification scheme (4), which provides service context, indicates specific services related to the processing of
RECREATION-AREA data. One topic from this classification scheme, which represents the specific purpose of a
given service, is shown. Relating the RECREATION-AREA entity this topic (‘Service: Get Recreation Inventory’)
indicates that the entity RECREATION-AREA is part of the information model associated with this service, i.e. it
is a key piece of data that is provided when this service is invoked and indicates the exact recreation area for
which an inventory of recreation assets should be obtained.
Classification scheme (5), which provides data asset context, indicates specific systems, applications or physical
data stores that process data related to RECREATION-AREAs. One topic from this classification scheme is
shown and relating the RECREATION-AREA entity to this topic (‘Recreation Information Database’ (RIDB))
indicates that instances of RECREATION-AREA data exist as records in the RIDB. This type of context may also
describe the process method that a particular system may apply to an entity, such as creating instances of the
entity, updating instances, deleting instances or simply referencing instances.
