9/11/ SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER DoD CIO 2 Purpose of the COI Community of Interest: “A collaborative group of users who exchange information in pursuit of their shared goals, interests, missions, or business processes, and who therefore must have shared vocabulary for the information they exchange.”— CNSSI 4009, 26 Apr 2010 Describe what information sharing problem this community will address (preferably in a single sentence)

9/11/ SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER DoD CIO 3 COI Membership Describe key members / stakeholders Should be Joint –Across relevant Military Services, Agencies and Combatant Commands) –Could include non-DoD government agencies, coalition partners, and commercial partners Should include: –Operators and Users –Resource Managers & Program Managers –Engineers –Subject Matter Experts Membership: All producers and consumers of information relative to this COI are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Sample COI Governance Structure WGs Additional Working Groups as needed Executive Board (FO/GO) Chair or Co-Chair 2 or 3 star level 1 star level Chair with 0-6/GS-15 membership Develop repeatable process to demonstrate COI products (e.g, COI vocabulary) Leverage core enterprise services Execute as risk reduction for next Pgm of Record (PoR) spiral Steering Committee Forum (Chair or Co-Chair) Joint Implementation Working Group (Appropriate Lead/Co-Lead) Define & implement high level COI capability roadmap and schedule milestones Stand up Pilot WG as needed Synchronize COI products with existing processes (e.g., JCIDS, Acquisition, PPBE) Data Management Working Group (Appropriate Lead/Co-Lead) Develop shared vocabulary for a given problem area in accordance with the DoD Net- Centric Data Strategy Promote & review COI activities Resolve cross-COI discrepancies Ensure appropriate participation Act as primary COI POC Track milestones & success criteria Pilot Demonstration Working Group (Appropriate Lead/Co-Lead) May be collapsed Mission Area & Domain Portfolio Managers 4

9/11/ SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER DoD CIO 5 Pilot Purpose One sentence that describes the net-centric information sharing capability solution to the 9-12 month increment of the information sharing problem the COI pilot will demonstrate

9/11/ SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER DoD CIO 6 Pilot Scope 1.What programs of record or other sources will advertise data as a web-service IAW the agreed COI vocabulary? 2.Will value-added services be demonstrated? If so, which ones? 3.What network(s) will be used to demonstrate net-centric information sharing capabilities? 4.What joint exercise(s) or venue will be used to demonstrate net-centric information sharing capabilities? 5.What organizations are participating? Operational representatives from data consumer organizations Engineers and acquisition representatives from data producer organizations

9/11/ SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER DoD CIO 10 Sample COI Resources Identify resources required to conduct the pilot. Identify resources broken out by program of record that provides the resources (as a technical risk mitigation effort), and DoD or non-DoD Component that owns the program. Identify resource shortfalls, impacts, and risk mitigation efforts.

9/11/ SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER DoD CIO 11 Sample COI Pilot Metrics Metrics to assess pilot return on investment (ROI) Resources as well as net-centric information sharing capabilities and agility Consider what is convincing to “seniors” Some ideas: #1Changes and impact to Programs of Record (POR) involved in the COI Pilot #2Initial and incremental costs of web service interfaces to advertise Program of Record (POR) data #3User assessment of demonstrated net-centric information sharing capabilities #4Feedback on ease of use and adoption of NCES pilot services #5Level of effort to agree on initial COI vocabulary

9/11/ SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER DoD CIO 12 Sample COI Spiral 1 Pilot Metrics Number of participating organizations Number of subscriptions Level of effort required for each program to interface with NCES –Level of effort required to service-enable a new data provider –Level of effort required to stand up a new consumer Operational impact of service outages Number of messages published per unit of time Level of effort required to train data producers and consumers on schemas and NCES Level of effort to develop and sustain schemas Size of schemas relative to cost and number of participants Number of programs extending schemas Level of effort required to register schemas Time required to search, discover, and filter published information
