- 2000 - Identified a commercial knowledge-modeling tool and metadata-repository capable of supporting the full GEM capability.
- 2002 - On reviewing the OMB FEA approach to a Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA), and its five Reference Models (i.e., taxonomies), tailored GEM to provide a whole-enterprise management capability by extending the OMB FEA approach.
- 2004 - Applied GEM to support a Federal Executive Department's EA efforts, mapping their IT inventory to their TRM and SRM, thus providing a line of sight from BRM to IT to SRM to TRM.
- 2005 - Applied GEM in a White House prototype project (through OSTP) to provide the ontology for an operational Federal Executive Branch (FEB) Continuity Communication Enterprise Architecture (CCEA), as a start point for FEB and National Business Continuity (encompassing all National Essential Functions - NEF).
