[cuo-wg] My Comments on DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy

["Schoening, James R C-E LCMC CIO/G6" <James.Schoening@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

    I find the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy (and this report) to have a show-stopping flaw.  It assumes metadata technology is capable of enabling DoD-wide data sharing, and it's just a matter of proper implementation.    The report (URL below) states, "...the principal challenge faced across [DoD] is the translation of policy into implementation..."    There are numerous other problems in this strategy, but this is the fundamental issue I see.

 

    I believe our group can help educate DoD on this issue, plus present alternatives for pursuing its goals.  But we need more participants and participation.  Let's each reach out and recruit more involvement.   We can point them to the web site at http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CommonUpperOntologyWG for how to subscribe and participate.

   

    More later....

All,

 

    Those interested in data sharing across systems and organizations should read this status report on the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy, posted at https://metadata.dod.mil/mdrPortal/download?contentItemID=urn%3Auuid%3Ac85e4dfc-607e-46e2-869f-fdf3c3133b60 .  It is dated Aug 2006, and I believe is just out.

 

     I'll post my comments by tomorrow.
