6. A Net-Centric DoD NII/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 Etc.

7. A Net-Centric DoD NII/CIO 7 Scope of the Data Management Working Group Task to Support the Pilot The Data Management WG will develop the community vocabulary that is necessary to support the COI pilot

10. A Net-Centric DoD NII/CIO 10 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.

11. A Net-Centric DoD NII/CIO 11 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

14. A Net-Centric DoD NII/CIO 14 Purpose of the COI Community of Interest: A collaborative group of users that must exchange information in pursuit of its shared goals, interests, missions, or business processes and therefore must have shared vocabulary for the information it exchanges. - DoD Directive 8320.2 To improve global maritime situational awareness by sharing information related to vessels, cargo, and people amongst MDA stakeholders.
