Ontology Driven Implementation of Semantic Services for the Enterprise Environment (ODISSEE) Workshop

The National Center for Ontological Research (State University of New York at Buffalo) and Alion Science and Technology, will host the two-day "Ontology Driven Implementation of Semantic Services for the Enterprise Environment (ODISSEE) Workshop." ODISSEE aims to foster awareness of and collaboration between disparate information-sharing efforts across the US Government. The workshop will feature individual presentations on information-sharing development, as well as panel sessions on ontology and data vocabulary. This workshop supports the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) information-sharing initiatives. Information sharing is at the heart of the transformation, from the current state of the National Airspace System (NAS) to NextGen capabilities in 2025, in areas such as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), integrated surveillance, and weather.

• Explore the use of ontologies to enable information exchanges within a service-oriented architecture (SOA), improve discoverability of services, and align disparate data standards and message models.
• Coordinate ontology development across diverse Communities of Interest (COIs) to ensure extensibility, interoperability, and reusability.

Keynote Speakers

• Dr. Mark Maybury, Chief Scientist, US Air Force
• Dennis Wisnosky, Chief Architect and Chief Technical Officer, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Deputy Chief Management Officer
