1. Semantic Enhancements for DoD, FEA, and ISE Information Sharing, Enterprise Architecture, and Standards Dr. Brand Niemann Director and Senior Enterprise Architect – Data Scientist Semantic Community http://semanticommunity.info/ AOL Government Blogger http://gov.aol.com/bloggers/brand-niemann/ August 29, 2012 http://semanticommunity.info/Information_Sharing_Environment

2. Mission Statement • 1. Personal: • Senior Data Scientist at the US EPA: • Completed Data Science Academic Training and Many EPA Data Products • Detail to Data.gov: • Built Data.gov in An Information Platform • 2. Putting Data To Work: • Data Journalist for Federal Computer Week and AOL Government: • Published Many Data Science Products and Built Own Data Journalism Handbook • Data as a First Class Citizen: Data Science and Journalism for Analytic Standards and Audit of Open Data Sites: • Working with CKAN, DoD, IC, NCOIC, NIST, OASIS, OMG, OSTP, W3C, etc. • 3. The Emergence of Data Science: • Built a Data Science Team for the Government Community: • “Killer Semantic Web Application” (Semantic MedLine on the new Cray Graph Computer) for the Federal Big Data Senior Steering Group • Challenges and Contests Using the Best High Quality Data Sets: • Heritage Provider Network Health Prize, Health Data Initiative Forums, TedMed, Department of Commerce App Challenge, etc.

3. Semantic Community • Our Mantra is: Data Science Precedes the Use of SOA, Cloud, and Semantic Technologies! We use data science to help marketing and business development efforts. • Our Mission is like Googles: Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. • Our Method is like Be Informed 4: Architectural Diagrams and Questions and Answers are not enough, you need Dynamic Case Management! • Our Sound Byte: It is not just where you put your data (cloud), but how you put it there! • Our Work: Semantically enhancing your data and writing data science stories about it.

4. System of Systems Architecture Dynamic Case Management (e.g. Be Informed) Data Science Library (e.g. Spotfire) Data Science Products (e.g. Spotfire) S Semantic Index of Linked Data (e.g. Excel)

5. Applying Data Science to Build a Knowledge Base • Knowledge Base = Model + Instances • Model = Vocabulary, Taxonomy, and Ontology/Rules • Instances = Linked Data Semantically Linked to the Model

6. Applying Data Science to Build a Knowledge Base • Model = • Vocabulary – Glossary in MindTouch • Taxonomy - Contents and Resources in MindTouch • Ontology/Rules in Be Informed • Instances = • Linked Data Semantically Linked to the Model – MindTouch, Excel and Spotfire

7. Business Process • Best Content to a Knowledge Base (MindTouch) • The Common Approach to FEA, DoDAF, ISE EA, etc. • Knowledge Base to Spreadsheet (Excel) • Linked Data to Subparts of the Knowledge Base • Spreadsheet to Dashboard (Spotfire) • Data integration and interoperability interface • Dashboard to Semantic Model (Excel) • Data Dictionaries and Models • Semantic Model to Dynamic Case Management (Be Informed) • Structured process for updating data in the dashboard

8. Best Content • Information Sharing Environment (Web Site) • A Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture (PDF) • DM2 Data Dictionary (Excel) • DoD EA Repository (Web Sites) • DoDAF (Web Sites) • ISE Enterprise Architecture Framework 2007 (PDF) • OMG Information Sharing Working Group (Emails, etc.) • Why the FEA Doesn’t Work (Blog)

32. Be Informed Demos http://www.beinformed.com/BeInformed/website/en/EN/Demo?init=true

33. Be Informed Demos • Be Informed has realized a multitude of solutions. These videos and a number of online references will give you a good idea of what we can do. • These videos demonstrate Be Informed 4: • The Dormer Permit: • 1. Dynamic Activity Plan • 2. Changing the Model = Changing the application • 3. Online Model Documentation • From 0 to application in 11 concepts: • 4. Building an application from scratch using Be Informed http://www.beinformed.com/BeInformed/website/en/EN/Cases?init=true

34. Demo Cases • Environment Desk Online • Be Informed realized a single digital environmental permit service for the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM). Citizens and companies can now use this digital service to request permits online. Local authorities can then process the requests digitally. The permits concerned are in the areas of building, advertising, driveways, tree-felling, demolition and the Occupancy Decree. • See http://www.omgevingsloket.nl for more information. • New to Holland • If you come to the Netherlands to live, work or study, you are likely to have some questions about the arrangements you need to make. This site will guide you to the government organizations you may have to deal with. • See http://www.newtoholland.nl for more information. • Milieu Centraal • Energy savings test and several online tests. Bespaartest.nl (Energy savings Test) is a joint initiative of Milieu Centraal and Nibud (National Budget). The aim is to help households to save energy in order to both decrease energy bills and save the environment. Besides the Energy Cost Reducer, Milieu Centraal also developed several online tests for environmental awareness using Be Informed. • See http://www.milieucentraal.nl and http://www.bespaartest.nl for more information. http://www.beinformed.com/BeInformed/website/en/EN/Cases?init=true

48. Results • So I can do this without building the ontology first, which has taken the DM2 WG 3+ years. I can semantically enhance their DM2 artifacts, make them data, fuse them together, visualize them with analytics, and do federated search without SPARQL Queries. Then I can build an actual Ontology-Rules driven applications using Be Informed. • So we are revolutionizing the FEA, DoDAF, OMG, etc. approaches to Enterprise Architecture by making it simpler with semantic analytics and dynamic change management.
