Semantic Web - Outline

What’s it all about? What are the DARPA Agent Markup

Language (DAML) and Ontology Web Language (OWL)?

Theme for this meeting: Preparing the Military for the Revolution of the Semantic Web

Some Selected Examples of Semantic Web adoptions in the Military

What you will see in the next couple days

DAML and OWL

The DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) Program Enabling “agent”

communication at a Web-wide scale

Semantic language that ties information on a page to machine readable semantics (ontology)

W3C, including Tim Berners-Lee: Enthusiastic Partners About to release Ontology

Web Language (OWL) Based on DAML-OIL

(Ontology Inference Layer), International Partnership

Get Weather Info

Determine Force Mix

Provide Intelligence Update

Coordinate Transportation

Select Targets

Order Supplies

DAML Concept

C2I is Moving to Web Technology

Current Web Technology Not Machine Processable

Need the Semantic Web - Machine readability with very rich semantics to support agents for:

Intelligence Analysis and Production

Military Planning and Operations Software C4ISR Agents Sensor Fusion

DAML is building the language and tools to realize the bold vision of the Semantic Web

Language to describe information Tools for users and developers Transition activities Experimentation/Metrics
