This briefing explores the need for a personalized briefing creation agent in the military domain, capable of accessing military sources, gathering information offline, and tailoring the briefing to users' needs. It also highlights the need for a search tool to access information embedded in briefings and the use of DAML markup for briefing creation and importing. Challenges in incorporating external content, semantically indexing images, and supporting objects in multiple classes are discussed. Prototype solutions for semantic autocomplete and reference disambiguation are presented.

DAML Marked Data Our Vision PowerPoint Infrastructure Semantically Grounded Briefing • Dynamic Data integrated into Briefing DAML Marked Briefings The Killer Ap Better Access to Materials • Military spends a huge amount of time creating briefings • gathering, collating, formatting data • translating into powerpoint slides • customizing for different commanders • Need for a Personalized Briefing Creation Agent • Knows about military domain (communicative) • Knows how to access military sources (capable) • Gathers information off-line for user (autonomous) • Tailorable to users needs and changing resources (adaptive) • Need for a search tool for information embedded in briefings • IntelLink minimally keyword searchable Briefing Creation Agent • PowerPoint Infrastructure for • Requesting data • Accepting data - propagating it into model • Rendering data - coupling briefing data to model • e.g. shape color determined by attribute value • Exporting Briefing in DAML • Importing DAML into Briefing • Graphically Defining/Editing Ontology • DIFFing changes between versions Intel Link Search Tool DAML Marked Briefings
DEMO What’s Hot • Semantic Markup in COTS Document Authoring Tools • Markup as ByProduct of graphic content creation • Visually Annotated Ontology • Incorporation of external content • Automatically updated briefings • Semantically Indexed Images • Image Indexing Web Crawler • HTML Images • Briefing Images • Legacy Image Markup • Semantically Described Image Search
Challenges • Internal • Automated Rendering of Imported Content • Layout Annotations in Visually Annotated Ontology • Supporting Objects in Multiple (non-intersecting) Classes • Not supported by COM generators (i.e. standard OO languages) • External • Coupling with external DAML query service • Identifying Producer Value-Added Markups in MS Word • Follow Briefing Associate “Markup-As-Byproduct” paradigm • Prototype • Semantic AutoComplete • Semantic Reference Disambiguation • Paste object values into text • Follow On • Semantic Diagrams to establish context (for markup and consumer)
