SWMU Conference May 2003 (8) Experiment Problem Space = ONA / EBO Operational Net Assessment:.... a continuous and collaborative process that provides a coherent knowledge base about ourselves, the adversary, how the adversary views us, and the environment. Effects-Based Operations:.... focuses on obtaining a desired strategic objective by producing effects through the application of the full range of military and non-military capabilities Knowledge is a key characteristic of future joint operations and a critical attribute for rapid decisive operations.

SWMU Conference May 2003 (13) SONAT Demonstration n Build knowledge base of elements of national power (PMESI 2 ) n Expand KB to include relationships / effects between elements n Build knowledge base of friendly capabilities (DIME) n Build knowledge base of operational objectives n Expand knowledge base to contain ENP-to-Objective relationships n Build knowledge base of cause & effect relationships between tasks and objectives n Automatically prioritize tasks based on expected effect against overall objectives n Assign tasks based on organizational capabilities and relationships

SWMU Conference May 2003 (14) New Capability Integration Goals for 2003 Experiment n DAML – JBI n ONA ontologies mapped to OpenCyc & SUMO n New ontologies (daml-spatial, daml-time) n Update & utilize UJTL KB n GeoTopics data sources n AeroDAML NL processing techniques n Tactical constraint checker n DAML-S (Services) n RuleML n DAML Query Language (DQL) n New development & visualization tools

SWMU Conference May 2003 (15) Beyond the Experiment n SONAT shows one way to assemble agents and applications exploiting ontologies, data and knowledge bases to provide a specific type of operational support. n DAML Experiment is contributing to a growing inventory of resources usable by the broader semantic web community l Ontologies l Knowledge bases l User Interfaces l Agents & applications l Development tools n DAML Experiment agents and applications use semantics and instance data in the ontologies, but are not embedded within the knowledge base.... l Data sources / knowledge bases maintained by owner l Can be used for entirely different applications

SWMU Conference May 2003 (16) Key DAML Experiment Goals n Provide focus and context for integration and demonstration of DAML technologies l Identify and measure relevant metrics l Stress DAML technologies l Provide feedback to researchers n Develop a real-world scale prototype application that demonstrates the potential of semantic web technologies to meet key military needs n Support future transition efforts
