Ed,
There would be value in integrating
all the Command and Control data models and ontologies (to that community), but
the best it could achieve is a larger domain model, which won't help with one of
its compliant systems need in interoperate with a finance, logistics, medical or
vendor system. But this is not the focus of this (CDSI WG)
group. Our focus is explained on our web/wiki site at http://www.visualknowledge.com/wiki/cdsi.
We are currently drafting a paper to fully explain our position.
Co-authors are invited to join the core writing team, and editors will be needed
in a couple weeks.

Darrell,
Thanks. My main concern is to see whether anybody is
trying to put these various pieces together. I know of others, in
particular in the Corps of Engineers, who are working on their own attempts to
generalize and add semantic and syntactic expressiveness to the C2IEDM
framework. It seems to me that somebody, maybe even the CDSI working
group, should be tracking and attempting to integrate or at least coordinate
these efforts.

Ed,
C2IEDM is a data model
(represented as an Entity Relationship model) for the Command and Control
domain. I am working on a project for the Army at Ft Monmouth that is developing
the C4ISR Ontology, which is an Owl ontology that uses the C2IEDM data model as
a starting point. In the context of Cross Domain Semantic Interoperability
(CDSI), our C4ISR Ontology can be considered a domain ontology for the Command
and Control domain.
The latest version of
the C2IEDM Entity Relationship data model has been renamed the Joint
Consultation Command & Control Information Exchange Data Model (JC3IEDM).
The Army is pushing JC3IEDM as a common data model to be used as a common format
for interoperability among systems. I am positioning our C4ISR Ontology as a
more powerful model than JC3IEDM that will enable "semantic interoperability".
Darrell.
