Vision: Ubiquitous and Coherent System of Systems
Ontology Mapping Approaches
(Rahm and Bernstein 1998)
DARPA Strategy
Build on emerging service-based infrastructure
Leverage XML and emerging Web Services
Break applications into component services
Add semantics
Build on DAML and other ontology and knowledge base efforts
Seed the approach with problem-specific ontologies, KBs, & models
Develop semantic brokers
Develop techniques for representing and composing services
Develop semantic brokering techniques to dynamically discover and compose information services “on the fly” to fit user’s mission, situation, preferences, available data, and context
Develop tools to add new components easily
Develop mixed-initiative schema/ontology mapping tools
Enable someone, eg. in J-6, to rapidly add new component services
PI Meeting Goals
Determine program progress
Review accomplishments
Establish program goals and plans for FY 2003
Assess overall strategic vision & approach
Collaborate and exchange ideas (half a dozen breakout meetings)
Showcase new DAML tools and technologies
Enjoy the meeting and enjoy Portland

 FY 2003 Challenges and Objectives
(Murray’s List—Let’s Refine Together)
Language
OWL Recommendation released
Services ® V1.0
Rules ® V1.0
Spatial and Geo-spatial
OMG-UML Harmonization with OWL
Proof?  Trust?
Tools and technologies
End to end  semantic broker effort initiated (at least)
Use cases J
Concept and design, prototype implementation
User-friendly query and inference
Other inference??
Further ontology mapping tools
Further semi-automatic markup tools for N.L. text and Web pages
Transitions
Keep up effort with current projects, identify other transition partners
Reenergize Horus Project
Additional agent-based applications
Keep feeding the daml.org site!
Experiment
Expand SONAT infrastructure
Extend agent-based applications
Participate in the experiment!
Better metrics, better evaluations—better theories?
Summary
Impressive progress although hard to measure
Many difficult problems remain
We are 2 years smarter:  What fine tuning do we need?
Will we change the world?
We will be as good as our semantics and our tools
You are a world class group and all deserve a huge amount of credit  for what has been accomplished!!
