• Provides the overarching governance and harmonization of data across the Army

• Subset of Army Enterprise to provide overarching governance and harmonization for the four mission focus: Business MA (BMA) Defense Intelligence MA (DIMA) Warfighting MA (WMA) Enterprise Information Environment MA (EIEMA)

• Subsets of Army Mission Areas• Represent a common collection of related, or highly associated information capabilities and services• The governing bodies of the Community of Interests (COIs)

• A collaborative group of users who must exchange information in pursuit of shared goals, interests, missions, or business processes and who therefore must have shared vocabulary for the information they exchanged• Provide an organization and maintenance construct for data such that data goals are realized• Define, evaluate and promote data interoperability standards including, for example, common vocabularies, ontologies, logical data models, entity and attribute definitions and XML data exchange schemas

APRC • Provides IT PfM governance across the army
