Applying Data Science to Build a Knowledgebase Knowledgebase = Model + Instances Model = Vocabulary, Taxonomy, and Ontology/Rules Instances = Linked Data Semantically Linked to the Model 9

Applying Data Science to Build a Knowledgebase 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 10

Business Process Best Content to a Knowledgebase (MindTouch) – DoD IT Enterprise Strategy and Roadmap, etc. Knowledgebase to Spreadsheet (Excel) – Linked Data to Subparts of the Knowledgebase Excel to Dashboard (Spotfire) – Data integration and interoperability interface Spotfire Dashboard to Dynamic Case Management (Be Informed) – Structured process for updating data in the dashboard 11

Best Content to a Knowledgebase (MindTouch) 12 Well-defined URLs to subparts of the document and figure and tables.

Spotfire to Be Informed Be Structured Questions: – Greenfield: Are you starting the report from scratch? – Legacy: Are you updating the report? – Dynamic Case Management: Does Spotfire need to be updated frequently? So the Business Process Pattern Includes: – Greenfield, Legacy, and Dynamic Case Management Definitions (and Rules!): – DoD Dictionary and JCDIS Manual Executable Model: – Semantically Linked Taxonomy, Ontology, and Rules (started in previous slides) 18

Federation of Data Sets Strategy One Table: – Two Columns Example: Column 1: Section and Column 2: URL – Note: A Column 3: Description could be in the URL – Example: See Slide 14 – Three Columns: Example: Column 1: Subject, Column 2: Object, and Column 3: Predicate – Note: This is the Semantic Web’s Linked Open Data Cloud as Linked Open Data for Network Analytics! – Example: See Next Slide – Four Columns: Examples: Column 1: Subject, Column 2: Attribute, Column 3: From, and Column 4: To, or Column 1: City, Column 2: Country, Column 3: Longitude, and Column 4: Latitude – Note: This is the format for Spotfire’s Network Analytics Module developed for the CIA – Example: See Slide 25 23

Linked Open Data Cloud as Linked Open Data for Network Analytics 24 Is it easy to add columns for who links to who? Not in a single table. SPARQL can't do cross-tabulation (Richard Cyganiak).

DoD RFI Questions Can the interview be done at/after the November 30 th Industry Discussion? Can one see the EIW work done so far in presentations and Web content? Can one use the EIW public content to pilot semantic technologies while all of this RFI process is going on? Is the overall goal to significantly reduce the number and cost of DoD Information Systems as my first story found? Is the RFI goal to federate selected DoD content for delivery to the warfighter on mobile devices over secure networks? E.g. my TBI knowledgebase Is the RFI goal to deliver public DoD content so the public can better understand and use it? E.g. my Weapons Systems 2011 knowledgebase Is the RFI goal to use the most advanced semantic technology that I know of to do Dynamic Case Management (e.g. Be Informed)? Is the DoD considering forming a Semantic Interoperability Center of Excellence like the EU’s SEMIC.EU? Should industry form a non-profit consortium with multiple organizations to do this kind of work under say a CRADA like the NCOIC is doing for the FAA NextGen and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency? Will there be a follow-up event to discuss the results of the RFI with the participants/public? How many have responded to the RFI/are registered to attend the two Industry Events? 32
