DOD Information Technology Standard Guidance (ITSG) Version 3.1

Abstract

The DOD Information Technology Standards Guidance (ITSG) defines the DOD Open System Environment (OSE) and provides guidance to meet the requirements for consistent selection of base standards for profiles for DOD Information Technology (IT) acquisitions. It does this by defining the DOD OSE and the target group of IT standards that DOD systems are to use in implementations. The specification of the DOD OSE and the IT standards contained within that environment using the ITSG will guide system convergence toward the DOD- consensus target environment. The ITSG is the foundation document for the Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management (TAFIM) Volume 7, the Adopted Information Technology Standards (AITS). The ITSG is a resource supporting the Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) and the AITS by tracking activity in emerging standards that may someday appear in the JTA or TAFIM volume 7. The ITSG also provides more detailed information about the standards adopted by the AITS, which is only a list of standards. The ITSG identifies formal and emerging standards, bindings, public domain specifications, and the interrelationships among the recommended standards. It provides useful information on the recommended stadards for each service area such as portability guidance and the recommended standard usage.
