Navy Prepares to Take An Important First Step

摘要

It is the objective of the U.S. Navy's Information Dominance Corps to manage a global network that delivers instant integration of military data across a number of separate specializations such as geographic, intelligence, logistics and manpower, as well as provide information about red or blue forces. The semantic Web will be the engine needed to power the effort.These objectives create an unprecedented demand for the retrieval of unrelated data from sources that are diverse and not interoperable. Such data now is stored in files that have inconsistent coding. The existing files are organized in contract-mandated projects that answer only inquiries that are limited to their respective enclaves.
