2. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY 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

3. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation Ontology Development Philosophy Building block approach Focused on developing small, reusable, inter- connectable ontologies (e.g., bibliographic references, military equipment)

4. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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

5. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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

6. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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

7. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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

8. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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

9. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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)

10. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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.

11. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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

12. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE, PROCESSES, AND TECHNOLOGY Dynamics Research Corporation 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)
