Data Ecosystem Schema Mapper tool
The Data Ecosystem Schema Mapper (DESM) is a powerful tool for creating data schema crosswalks that can be used by the OCF Collab member nodes in transposing schemas and by others for other purposes. The DESM is being developed via an open license.
Development of the Configuration Dashboard is in process now. Follow development via the T3 DESM Github Repo.

OCFC:PP-001: Develop DESM Project Configuration Dashboard
OCFC:PP-001 Working Document (Approved and Funded)
Project Description: This project plan defines work to be done in implementing a configuration dashboard for the Data Ecosystem Mapper (DESM) tool to facilitate the setup of the configuration profile by schema mapping leads. The plan and document including wireframes for configuring the Tool for a particular mapping project was developed as part of the work of OCF Collab Phase 2 in 2020.
Project Period: December 17, 2021 through May 31, 2022
T3 DESM Project Plan: Development and Use of DESM for Data Standards Alignment and Harmonization
9-Month Milestone: 3-5 data standards organizations relevant to the skills-based hiring and advancement use case will commit to utilize the enhanced DESM tool for standards development, alignment, and harmonization to promote data interoperability and support leading practices and tools in skills-based hiring and career advancement and complete competency and skill mapping.
- August 31, 2022: Review skills-based hiring and career advancement use case and report and plans for enhancing and using DESM for standards gap analysis and alignment and harmonization and develop a work plan for enhancing and using DESM for the use case.
- December 30, 2022: Implement DESM enhancements and produce guidance materials for conducting gap analysis and standards alignment and harmonization.
- March 15, 2023: Pilot-test the use of DESM in conducting gap analysis and standards alignment and harmonization for the skills-based hiring and career advancement use case and develop plan for sustaining the use of DESM in addressing other critical use cases.
