The DOD Vision Net-Centric Data Strategy (9 May 2003)
Make Data Visible Is an information resource discoverable by end-users? Make Data Accessible Is it connected to the network(s), and are tools readily available to use and allow assured access to it? Make Data Understandable Can it be used intelligibly? Are the semantics well documented? Is the authority (pedigree, security level, and access control level) known and available? Enable Data to Be Trusted Make Data Interoperable Can it be easily combined or compared with other information and/or mediated? Are users involved in COIs? Are robust, direct user feedback mechanisms in place to guide development? Be Responsive to User Needs

Examine Current Inventory via Net-Centric Publisher (NCP)
Service Registry Search for: suitable service endpoints Examine: WSDL, XSD, Amplifying Document, Service Provider MDR Search for: suitable service descriptions Examine: WSDL, XSD, Amplifying Document Search for: reusable request/response structures & semantics Examine: XSD, schematron, XSLT, taxonomy Search for: COI, domain, or mission area collaborators Examine: COI Directory Content Discovery: Enterprise Catalog Search for: existing (non-web service) capabilities Examine: portals, data source descriptions Let’s examine how to apply this guidance for web services. Before a single line of code is developed and before a specification is proposed, do the proper research to see what is available and determine its suitability. NCP, accessible via MDR, simplifies searching these specialized metadata holdings. Focus on COI-preferred components. Review ratings and comments.

Content Discovery Value Added
“(U) This (Content Discovery) cuts in half the time it takes me to check sites – and the fact that you have so rich a cross section of information will save me even more time as I gather key intel for senior Joint Staff leaders each day. Incredibly useful! Your site is the first in my line-up! “ – Joint Staff, J2 Special Actions Division Faster, relevant information improves Shared Situational Awareness = Self-Synchronizing Forces FY08 NCES Usage Automated updates of Intelligence Products available for search : SIPR ,600,000 products Search Requests Supported : SIPR ,084,016 requests Supports NGA’s Goal of “Universal Situational Awareness” (GEOINT Pub 1, June 2004)

The Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Challenge
Coast Guard Admiral Nimmich and Army General Rudesheim are the co-chairs of the Maritime Domain Awareness Implementation Team. Admiral Nimmich states that he believes that 70-percent of the information needed for MDA already exists in various locations. The trick, he says, is getting the information you need when you need it, regardless of who “owns” it. There are many different types of MDA data, including information on vessels, the people and cargo on board the vessels, and the infrastructure that supports ports and vessels. Eventually, we hope to use net-centricity to make all of these data available to authorized members of the COI. But since every journey begins with the first step, the COI chose its first spiral to be interagency sharing of unclassified information from the Automatic Identification System, or AIS. 25
