Semantic Web for the Military User
C4 Applications Breakout
Goals and Process

Schedule and Purpose
Schedule
Wednesday from now until 1700
Thursday Out-Briefs/Discussion (suggested organizations)
0900-0930 Intelligence Applications (ONI-IMO)
0930-1000 Doctrine Applications/Lessons Learned (CALL/NWDC)
1000-1030 C2 Applications (NWDC/SSC/AF-JBI)
Top-Level Purpose:
Identify potential applications of the emerging Semantic Web technologies to military applications in the specific area.
Suggested themes are just that, suggestions
Groups may expand purpose and themes for each specific area (Intel/LL- Doctrine/C2)

Working Group

C2 Applications Outbrief
Some thoughts on organization
Control of systems/sensors/and networks
With auto registration, knowledge of capabilities, can more intelligently control for optimal or appropriate coverage for the mission at hand for planning, and adaptation to changing conditions.
Infrastructure Applications
Semantic interoperability of systems, dynamic reconfiguration with “understanding”  at the machine level of the implications
Sensor Applications
Smart Sensors communicating with one-another
E.g., unattended acoustic/IR… aerial, ground, or underwater sensor (one of potentially thousands)
Fusion, aggregation and reporting

Significant Issues and
Recommendations—Examples
Significant Issues
Please keep to five or less
Most important DAML capabilities for use in military applications, and/or problems
Shortfalls in DAML that may limit use in military settings
Specific opportunities for the infusion of DAML into relatively near-term applications through proof-of-concept demonstrations
Identify low-hanging fruit in terms of military applications that would realize a high payoff from using DAML?
Identify technical, organizational, and social issues that may impact on the adaptation of DAML technologies
Identify other military users, beyond those at this workshop, that particularly should hear about DAML
Recommendations
Include who is responsible and when results are due

C2 Applications
Outbrief Org (continued)
Now to the specifics:
Promising DAML capabilities
Potential DAML implementation problems/issues
Technical, organizational, social
Promising applications
Near term/Low hanging fruit
ESG – Nature of DAML testing next year?
JBI?
MCS - Lite
???
Longer term?
Other potential pointers (outside this group)?
