Status Update
The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) has assumed
a broader role in the creation of GPO’s Federal Digital
System (FDsys) through modifications of its contract
with Harris Corporation. This change will allow GPO to
manage all program responsibilities, the role of the
master integrator. GPO now has more control and
oversight of the program resources, schedule, and cost,
while Harris Corporation maintains its significant role in
the development of FDsys. In order to supplement
resources GPO is bringing on additional subject matter
experts from FAST, Documentum, and MITRE
Corporation. The expected capabilities of FDsys have
not changed and GPO’s focus remains on the first public
release, targeted for late 2008. |
FDsys will be implemented through a series of releases, with
each release building upon the features of the previous
release. There are multiple releases planned over the next
two years, with beta testing occurring prior to each release.
The initial public release is scheduled for late 2008.
Current Status
In September 2007 GPO began giving Proof-of-Concept
demonstrations and responses have been overwhelmingly
positive. A proof of concept is used to validate that the
concept will meet stakeholder expectations. These
demonstrations showcase content submission and
processing, metadata creation, search functionality, and
viewing content and metadata. You can view
demonstrations of the Search (access) and Submission by
