Description
Establish a DPAS common asset model to support the DPAS Tech refresh work effort.

Recommended
DPAS will provide a centralized asset structure that is accessible to all DPAS processes and platforms.
This structure will contain a core set of attributes that are common to all DoD business processes. 
Process specific attributes will extended off of the Common Asset structure in a "hub and spoke" model.
The Common Asset structure will provide an enterprise wide method to uniquely identify each asset in DPAS and share those common attributes throughout the system.
Microservice API(s) will be established, use-able by all development teams to insert assets into the new asset structure. 
This SCR requires that the Common Asset structure support both the new model and the existing, disparate asset models in DPAS today.
The Common Asset structure should maintain an in-sync balance between old and new models until all processes have transitioned to the new Common Asset structure.
Reports and monitoring will be provided to monitor/ensure balance between the asset model and the legacy DPAS application as organizations/DPAS transitions to the tech refresh framework.

Mission Critical
This was mandated as a requirement of Tech Refresh.

Benefits
The separation of the common asset attributes and the extension tables by specific platform provides a more efficient application design which limits risk by isolating changes to the asset model to specific platforms and its related asset attributes. 
Provides full visibility of the full life cycle of the asset, regardless of activity or platform.
