Dynamics Research Corporation • Primarily DoD information technology services company • Background in developing XML standards for U.S. Army applications • DRC DAML team focused on military applications • “Early Adopters” of DAML technology • Architecting DAML solutions to satisfy warfighter and other users’ requirements
Ontology Development Philosophy • Building block approach • Focused on developing small, reusable, inter-connectable ontologies (e.g., bibliographic references, military equipment)
DAML Military Ontologies • Military land platform taxonomy/ontology • Equipment Characteristics and Performance (C&P) • Event chronology ontology • Fugitive/terrorist description ontology • Military task list ontology • Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) scenario/vignette
Military Land Platform Ontology • Army Military Equipment Characteristic & Performance (C&P) Ontology • Ontology focused on a taxonomy of equipment types • Ontology is modeled after Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) Entity Enumerations document
Equipment Characteristics and Performance • Equipment descriptions used by simulation applications for accurately representing platforms • Leveraged DRC work for Army Modeling and Simulation Office (AMSO) • Sample artifact developed based on Universal Threat System for Simulators (UTSS) sample data for AH-64A
Chronology Ontology • Potential application for intelligence report representation (event-centric) • Populated sample file with events from 9/11based on CNN chronology • Populated another sample with FBI chronology of Atta activities prior to attacks
Fugitive / Terrorist Description Ontology • Based on FBI website information • Potential applications for “watch list” matching • Description properties include: • Place of birth • FBI caution • Physical description • Languages used
Military Task List Ontology • Supports representation of military task lists (e.g., UJTL, UNTL, AUTL) • Populating sample instance file with Universal Joint Task List (UJTL)
EOD Scenario/Vignette • Developed specific task list for scenario of providing EOD support to clear mines from Straits of Hormuz and open lanes from Saudi Arabia to the oilfields. • References tasks from UJTL instance file • Potential applications include support for doctrine development, training, and operations.
Foreign Clearance Guide • AFRL conducting research to reduce cost and time required to obtain clearances from foreign governments • Focusing on lead times associated with diplomatic (DIP) clearances • Migrated IDEF1X data model to DAML+OIL ontology • Working with DRC personnel at Scott AFB and BBN
Summary • DRC has been developing DAML Military Application Ontologies • Military land platform taxonomy/ontology • Event chronology ontology • Fugitive/Terrorist description ontology • Military Task List ontology • DRC is focusing continued research to support: • EOD (Naval Warfare Doctrine Command) • Foreign Clearance Guide (AFRL)
