Background
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Program
• First focus of the Customs & Border Protection (CBP) Modernization Initiative
• Supports CBP’s priority mission by:– Assisting in targeting high-risk cargo– Improving previous measures against the threat of terrorists and terrorist
weapons– Expediting legitimate trade

The Beginning
The ACE Logical Data Model (LDM)
• Representation of the information needs for cargo-related business operations
• Foundation for physical database design for ACE releases
• Contains:– 50 Subject Areas– 925 Entities– 10084 Attributes
![Page 5: Cairo Corporation An Inc 500 Company ISO9001:2000 CERTIFIED 8(a) ۰ SDB ۰ WOB ۰ GSA ۰ GSA STARS The Dream of a Common Language: Extending the Role of the](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ec65503460f94bd19db/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Impressive, but is it right?
Desired LDM characteristics:
• Complete• Correct• Consistent• Integrity• Aligned• Integrated

The Journey
ACE LDM Validation Goals
• Confirmation of existing entities, attributes and relationships
• Identification of:– Missing entities, attributes and relationships– Incorrect relationships– Redundant entities, attributes and relationships– Unused / irrelevant entities and attributes

Horizontal Integration
Notes: • ACE Concept of Operations (ConOps) contains high-level business process flows.• ACE Business Process Architecture (BPA) is currently under development. The CBP Enterprise Business Process Architecture (EBPA) and ACE Release Business Processes (BPs) were used as a proxy for ACE BPA.

Data Transition
• Associate source system data structure to target ACE Release data structure
• Use ACE LDM as common denominator

Benefits
• Ensure transition of data to same logical concept
• Reduced complexity of mapping effort; map each source system data structure once to ACE LDM regardless of how many ACE releases are involved
• Same principle applies for one-way data conversion or ongoing data exchange. Target data structure can be a PDM, LDM, COTS, Interface parameter, etc.

LDM Role Extension
• Uses the ACE LDM a a fulcrum to to support– Information sharing– Data Transition– Requirements Traceability
in addition to more traditional role of depicting business data requirements and driving physical database design
• ACE LDM moves from an architecture artifact to an active, integral role in the management of information in the CBP enterprise

24
Technical Implementation
• Most links are documented in Telelogic’s System Architect (SA); Business Rules, Quality Objectives and Assessments are in MS Access
• Added new SA Definition Types:– Business Organization– Validation Reference
– ConOps Scenario Step– Business Process Definition– Use Case– EBPA Process– ECDM Conceptual Entity
– PGA Alias– …

25
What’s Next
TBD, but could include:
• NIEM Mapping for full ACE LDM content
• Additional taxonomies to support information sharing at a federal level
• Leverage ACE LDM for Data Governance activities such as definition of data stewards and owners, data security and privacy requirements, data retention requirements, etc.
• Limited only by our imagination….
