MetricsMetrics

Technical Metrics Complexity of ontologies

Depth, breath, # classes/properties Distribution of ontologies Volume of instance data Performance Number of agents Mapping/merging Information retrieval precision/recall

Operational Metrics: How well do the analyses: Address enemy’s elements of national power systems? Identify effects that will influence decision making? Determine how to effect what the enemy values most?







Experiment Problem Space = ONA / EBOExperiment Problem Space = ONA / EBO

Operational Net Assessment:

“. . . . a continuous and collaborative process that provides a coherent knowledge base about ourselves, the adversary, how the adversary views us, and the environment.”

Effects-Based Operations:

“. . . . focuses on obtaining a desired strategic objective by producing effects through the application of the full range of military and non-military capabilities”

“Knowledge is a key characteristic of future joint operations and a critical attribute for rapid decisive operations.”

SONAT Objectives SONAT Objectives

Use analysis of known Elements of National Power (ENP) to identify potential vulnerabilities of enemy countries (PMESI2) Political Military Economic Social Infrastructure Information

Treat potential enemy’s ENP as a system-of-systems

Identify causes and effects

Identify potential friendly actions (DIME) Diplomatic Information Military Economic

Build effects to tasks linkages

Weigh relative impacts

Develop COAs (Focus at CINC/JTF level)

SONAT DemonstrationSONAT Demonstration

Build knowledge base of elements of national power (PMESI2)

Expand KB to include relationships / effects between elements

Build knowledge base of friendly capabilities (DIME)

Build knowledge base of operational objectives

Expand knowledge base to contain ENP-to-Objective relationships

Build knowledge base of cause & effect relationships between tasks and objectives

Automatically prioritize tasks based on expected effect against overall objectives

Assign tasks based on organizational capabilities and relationships

Beyond the ExperimentBeyond the Experiment SONAT shows ‘one’ way to assemble agents and

applications exploiting ontologies, data and knowledge bases to provide a specific type of operational support.

DAML Experiment is contributing to a growing inventory of resources usable by the broader semantic web community Ontologies Knowledge bases User Interfaces Agents & applications Development tools

DAML Experiment agents and applications use semantics and instance data in the ontologies, but are not embedded within the knowledge base . . . . Data sources / knowledge bases maintained by owner Can be used for entirely different applications
