The government lacks a standardized way for identifying, describing, and publishing information about all of the services offered to the public across federal agencies, making it difficult for the public to find and access these services. Establishing a data standard and a process of publishing/aggregating this data will make it easier to ensure the federal government is adequately describing the services it provides in a way that can easily be incorporated into search engines and government-wide directories like USA.gov and the National Contact Center. This effort will also complement a parallel initiative from OMB, which has made the Federal Program Inventory an FY22 priority.
