If these aren’t compatible This won’t work Process Producer Vocabulary Consumer Vocabulary System System XML (probably) Data Source Message / Info Exchange Package / Document Data Consumer

Communities of Interest COI Y COI Z COI X Vocabulary Y Vocabulary Z Vocabulary X If you can’t have one universal vocabulary understood by everyone, then you must have several vocabularies, each understood by some group
Communities of Interest COI X COI Y COI Z X&Y Y&Z Vocabulary X Vocabulary Y Vocabulary Z translate translate When COIs must exchange data, we must translate between vocabularies (This by itself is an improvement: N2 is not so bad when N is small)
# people in community Optimizing COI Vocabularies • Analysis indicates the best possible arrangement of COIs and vocabularies: • A small number of broad, shallow vocabularies:few definitions, understood by many people • A larger number of narrow, deep vocabularies:many definitions, understood by few people • Arranged in a rough hierarchy; deep vocabularies adopt and extend the shallow broad and shallow vocabulary narrow and deep vocabulary narrow and deep vocabulary # definitions in vocabulary specialized, extended vocabularies
Optimizing COI Vocabularies • Partitioning knowledge between communities: • Achieve some of the most valuable interoperability • While retaining agility / flexibility in face of changing needs • Reducing cost and time to implement • Universal and common core vocabularies improve interoperability while retaining agility and local autonomy Universal Core C2 Core Common Core #1 Common Core #2 C2 COI #1 C2 COI #2

What is C2 Core? • Open (XML based) Data Exchange Standard • First major implementation of UCore v2.0 • Composition • Vocabulary and data model • Architectural Framework • Reusable XML Components An evolving open standard built by the C2 Community for the C2 Community
Relationship to Others • UCore v2.0 • ULEX Message Framework • 4Ws (who, what, when, where) • 5 methods of extension • C2 Core • C2 Vocabulary • Specs for Payload Extension • XML Naming & Design Rules • Info Exchange Specification • COI / POR Relationship analogous to Federal – State – City regulatory governance construct
