| Adrean,       No languages or standard for respresenting 
knowledge solve the problem of CDSI.   They all enable groups to 
define data models or ontologies, but these models will not be semantically 
interoperable.    Jim Schoening  Hi All --
 
 A quick scan of  www.mip-site.org seems to indicate that  
MIP leans towards XML.
 
 So, perhaps RDF would be one of several 
technologies beyond  XML (but related to it) for CDSI to 
explore?

  Hi Jim --
 Agreed, W3C RDF-OWL are unlikely to solve CDSI 
  without  additional help [1,2].
 
 However, RDF is a pivot data 
  representation, and as such is 2N.
 
 It has other drawbacks, but 
  not the N**2 one.

  John,
 You 
    say: " So, it may be useful to focus on ways to extend the proven WWW model, 
    via W3C processes, to accommodate the CDSI requirements before branching out 
    to seriously consider other less tried and proven 
    approaches."
 
 I don't 
    see that the W3C or Semantic Web community has a candidate solution for 
    CDSI.  Tim Berners-Lee talks about "let a thousand flowers bloom," 
    but that's the old N**2 problem.   If they have a candidate 
    solution, could someone please explain it to 
    us.
 
 (I agree all the 
    candidate technical solution are unclear paths, and none may work, but I 
    believe large enterprises should try pursuing all viable 
    candidates.)

 Cory,
 
 
 A typical problem with 
    government designed and managed architectures is that they have the 
    potential to represent a lowest common denominator (LCD) approach in order 
    to accommodate the interest of all the candidate participants. The resultant 
    LCD architectures are so vague that they still allow many non-interoperable 
    applications to be developed and almost always contain relatively easy to 
    obtain provisions for exceptions. It seems that the one architectural 
    standard that has best held up over a number of years, gracefully evolved 
    and truly supported broad interoperability is the World Wide Web 
    architecture. It was not designed or managed by the government. Also, it is 
    not proprietary. So, it may be useful to focus on ways to extend the proven 
    WWW model, via W3C processes, to accommodate the CDSI requirements before 
    branching out to seriously consider other less tried and proven 
    approaches.

 Brad,
 We have been thinking along similar lines but I submit 
    the government has to own their architectures, only they have the 
    cross-cutting view (or should have).  Contractors can help build 
    these, but the architecture asset (as the _expression_ of the enterprise, 
    enterprise needs and solutions - business or
 technical) has to be put 
    into the acquisition cycle.   Systems then need to
 be built to 
    that architecture is an executable, testable way.  Those 
    architectures have to STOP being "for a system" and be "for the enterprise". 
    SOA makes a great model for these architectures - separating concerns and 
    providing the boundaries to build to.  The semantic technologies 
    can help here to join and bridge architectures, but you are absolutely 
    correct that the core problem is not technical. 
    -Cory
