Metadata Concepts to Support a Net-centric Data Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
The term metadata is often defined as “data about data” but that circular reference does little to describe what constitutes metadata and how it is used. Here, we will focus on metadata as conceived to support the concepts of a service-oriented architecture and, in particular, as it relates to the DoD NetCentric Data Strategy and the NCES core services; more specifically, what types and structure of metadata are implied by current use cases, what functions are implied to support creating maintaining, and using such metadata, and what is implied about a metadata infrastructure that would support such metadata and its related functions.

Research and Development of Net-Centric Information Sharing Platform
Compared with traditional distributed environment, the net-centric environment brings on more demanding challenges for information sharing with the characteristics of ultra-large scale and strong distribution, dynamic, autonomy, heterogeneity, redundancy. This paper realizes an information sharing model and a series of core services, through which provides an open, flexible and scalable informa...

We have argued that the success of Net-Centric Operations and Warfare (NCOW) depends upon the ability of net-centric environment (NCE) users—both human and automated—to readily discover useful information and Web-based services. Effective discovery requires, in turn, effective meta-data “tagging.” It was argued that no single, overarching classification scheme is adequate to provide the semanti...

The success of Net-Centric Operations and Warfare (NCOW) depends upon the ability of net-centric environment (NCE) users—both human and automated—to readily discover useful information and services. Effective discovery requires, in turn, good semantic metadata “tagging” (i.e., indexing the functions of the services). Good tagging reflects the contextual relationships among the discoverable arti...
متن کاملResource Brokering Service: Timely and Efficient Information Resource Allocation
We address supporting unanticipated users and uses of limited information resources (sensors, databases, weapons any resource intrinsically tied to digital information) in a timely and efficient fashion. Platform-centric systems often preclude users and uses not identified when the system was developed and deployed. Net-centric approaches, however, can address these problems by allowing service...
