James,
I provided the draft paper to several of our forward leaning folks here
at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and received a variety of
responses. The most prevalent response being that without a clear
definition of the phrase "interoperability across the enterprise" it is
difficult to understand the overall context of the problem or the
solution. Does interoperability mean actually reaching into databases
"owned" by other organizations, exchanging data through standards based
exchange packets (also call knowledge objects by some), or something
else? What is the enterprise, the whole internet, the federal
government, the intelligence community, law enforcement, etc.?
It would seem that clear statements (multiple) of the different scopes
and contexts for "data interoperability" within and across lines of
business (not necessarily the same as COI's) is fundamental to coming up
with a family of solutions for a family of problems. I have trouble
seeing a one size fits all solution emerging.
Regards,
Mike

Cross Domain Semantic Interoperability WG, (03)
The 2nd conference call of this group is scheduled for next

Attached is a draft paper, which will be discussed. The paper
attempts to explain, to the layman, that current technology cannot
achieve 'Data Interoperability across the Enterprise.' It concludes
that emerging technology has promise and should be pursued. It makes a
first cut at rating various technologies on a 9-level maturity scale,
which needs further discussion. (05)
