SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ITAPDB establishes data element standard 
that will be shared among Army information systems horizontally between 
Army communities and vertically between field level and DA human 
resource information systems. Establishing a common set of data element 
standards enables the Army to eliminate redundant data, ensure 
commonality of information, reduce data conversion costs, and align 
with DoD development initiatives. As ITAPDB Data Element Standard 
evolves, it will apply to intelligence, operations, fire support, 
logistics, safety, transportation, human resource, military police, 
medical, dental, finance, chaplain, legal, post operation, civilian 
personnel, moral and welfare, recreation, force management, education 
center, inspector general and contractor support mission areas as it 
pertains to people related exchange of information or data.

    This standard is essential to achieve effective and efficient 
system interoperability among systems that support all Army human 
resources--soldier, civilian, or contractor in active or retired 
status.
    Individuals desiring a copy of the finalized ITAPDB Data Element 
Standard Version 1.0 should e-mail or write to Ms. Giddings or Mr. 
Oestreich at the above addresses.

Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
