Governmentwide Spending Data Model

The Governmentwide Spending Data Model (GSDM), formerly the DATA Act Information Model Schema (DAIMS), gives an overall view of the hundreds of distinct data elements used to tell the story of how federal dollars are spent. It includes artifacts that provide technical guidance for federal agencies about what data to report to Treasury including the authoritative sources of the data elements and the submission format. The GSDM also provides clarity on how the public can better understand the inherent complexity of the data. More information can be found on the Fiscal Service GSDM website.

In the process to develop and mature this data model, initial collaboration with internal and external stakeholders began with a series of white papers and public feedback to gain consensus on the standardization of key spending data elements.

The elements listed below represent the original consensus the federal community reached during the original DATA Act implementation. Since then, the community continues to iterate on these elements to improve standardization and overall clarity. Additional data elements will continue to be added as well, to continue improving transparency reporting. For the current data model element list visit the GSDM website described above.
