• Consensus on a minimum Strike Spiral 1 vocabulary. Goal -- Joint C2 vocabulary
• Use Geographic MarkupLanguage (GML), Defense Discovery Metadata Specification ((DDMS), and Intelligence Community Information Security Marking (IC ISM) as the basis of Strike’s vocabulary.
• Achieved consensus on need to continue harmonization of POR vocabularies to achieve a common Strike schema and data dictionary. The intent is to keep the core small.
Strike COI will deliver net-centric web services enabling authorized users to discover, access and collaborate on the data necessary to conduct time sensitive planning for Strike missions.
Purpose
Strike Community of InterestStrike Community of InterestGoal
Ensure users have knowledge and access to usable data, when needed,
anywhere on the GIG
Data
• Existing data schema will be selected for use without modifications.
• An existing schema will be selected for use and extended based on the Strike vocabulary by adding additional data elements defined by Strike and/or by externally referencing other schemas (changes to other schemas will be submitted to owning COI).
• A new foundation schema will be developed and extended as described above.
