Just to give you an overall
feel for the overall view of military users of the Semantic Web, the concept
of transition of the various elements of the program are two-fold.
|

The primary concept is to
develop web-based language, tools, and services that will become commercial
standards and come into widespread usage via endorsement and participation of
the W3C and web standards communities.
Like other web standards this will flow to the military users in the
way that COTS software items are flowing to military on a continuing basis.

In order to both facilitate
early military usage of DAML, to get feedback to developers from military
users, and to justify the military utility of the program for the DoD
sponsor, early adopters of the technology have been encouraged to use the
technology even as it is emerging.
The Horus Project, through the visionary guidance of Intelink
Management Office, was the first, and several other users noted here on this
slide are venturing to use the technologies, you’ve heard from the Navy this
morning of their interest.

The SWMU group was formed to
provide all mil users and those with great interest in the technology a forum
for learning from one-another, sharing experiences, and feeding to
developers. We’ve had two meetings so
far and a third is planned.
