Baseline experiment is conservative to reduce risk and ensure real military
functionality is provided to users – focus on military activities
 Baseline experiment is not the desired end state but a low risk way to get
started quickly
 Develop web-based distributed knowledge bases
 With basic set of ontologies and instance data to support the ONA
process (focus on military relevant information to limit scope)
 Ontologies will represent simple concepts and relationships in a
consistent manner
 Ontologies will address a relatively broad range of objects
 Humans will input all instance data
 Develop a basic infrastructure to support the ONA process
 Use PKI certificates for basic access control
 Use web browser access to a portal as means for users to view, add and
edit instance data
 Develop a few applications/agents that will perform simple but useful (no
AI) actions using the instance data
