 This guidance seeks to balance the need to establish clear and meaningful expectations for agencies to meet, while allowing sufficient flexibility on the approach each agency may take to address their own unique needs.  This guidance also includes references to other OMB memoranda that relate to the management of information.  Agencies should refer to the definitions included in the attachment in [OMB Memorandum M-13-13](/policy-memo) *Open Data Policy-Managing Information as an Asset*.  
 
-This guidance introduces an Enterprise Data Inventory framework to provide agencies with improved clarity on specific actions to be taken and minimum requirements to be met.  It also provides OMB with a rubric by which to evaluate compliance and progress toward the objectives laid out in the Open Data Policy.  Following the November 1, 2013 deadline, agencies shall report progress on a quarterly basis, and performance will be tracked through the Open Data Cross-Agency Priority (CAP) Goal. Meeting the requirements of this guidance will ensure agencies are putting in place a basic infrastructure for inventorying, managing, and opening up data to unlock the value created by opening up information resources.

 * Include, at a minimum, all data assets which were posted on Data.gov before August 1, 2013 and additional representative data assets from programs and bureaus.
 * Ensure the Inventory contains one metadata record for each data asset. A data asset can describe a collection of datasets (such as a CSV file for each state).
 * Use common core “required” fields and “required-if-applicable” fields on Project Open Data (includes indicating whether data can be made publicly available).
 * Submit to OMB via MAX Community<sup>[12](#footnote-12)</sup>  the inventory as a single JSON file using the defined schema from Project Open Data. OMB invites agency input on the option of replacing future submission with an API via a discussion on Project Open Data.

 #### Tools and Resources on Project Open Data
 * Out-of-the-box Inventory Tool: OMB and GSA have provided a data inventory tool (CKAN) that is customized to be compliant with the Open Data Policy out of the box. Customization includes the ability to generate the compliant Public Data Listing directly from the Inventory, as well as integration of the required common core metadata schema. Agencies may choose to install CKAN on their servers or use the centrally hosted tool.
