  3. Mills Davis202-667-6400 • mdavis@project10x.com • Mills Davis is Project10X’s founder and managing director for industry research and strategic programs. He consults with technology manufacturers, global 2000 corporations, and government agencies on next-wave semantic technologies and solutions. • Mills serves as co-chair of the Federal CIO council’s Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice (SICoP) where he leads research into the business value of semantic technologies and the Semantic Wikis for Information Management (SWIM) working group. Also, Mills is a founding member of the AIIM interoperable enterprise content management (iECM) working group, and a founding member of the National Center for Ontology Research (NCOR). • A noted researcher and industry analyst, Mills has authored more than 100 reports, whitepapers, articles, and industry studies.

  4. Conor Shankey604-730-0086 • cshankey@visualknowledge.com • Founder and CEO of Visual Knowledge — a 15 year old software company specializing in semantic wikis, enterprise class semantic applications, and highly scaleable semantic agent technology. • Architected largest corporate wan/lan of it’s kind outside US in 1990 as part of an enterprise transactional frame system to supplement/replace mission critical mainframe systems of large power utility. • CTO/co-founder of several spin out companies from Visual Knowledge. Also, co-founder Clera Pharmaceuticals, a small anti-psychotic drug discovery company • Member of the NCOR technical committee, Chair of 2006 OWL workshop (International Semantic Web Conference), and industry studies.

  5. NCOIC Semantic Wiki Pilot

  6. The original WIKI* idea • “A web site where anybody can create/edit a web page” • Structure • is not pre-determined • invented & evolved by community • neither top down or bottom up • Quick collaborative writing • Non-linear hypertext * Wiki is the short form for “wiki wiki web,” from the Hawaiian expression “wiki wiki” meaning fast or quick.

  7. WIKI concepts • Authoring via web browser — Also, uploading of arbitrary (multimedia) content • Simplified wiki syntax — Very simple markup for authors • Collaborative editing — Any page can be immediately contributed to, extended, revised, corrected assuming you have the right privileges • Rollback mechanism — All changes are versioned, audited and transparent to the community • Strong linking — “Concepts” in text can immediately become active resources (pages/links) • Search — Typically, a full text search capability

  8. Wiki way: Distinct concepts or topics are built on the fly Discourse forms around or in the context of a topic Eliminates serialized document work flow Team or community members can immediately see commentary in the context of a topic Versus: Each person edits a copy of the document A poor soul merges the results Expensive file shares E-mailing bulky documents “Versions” of opaque documents everywhere “Organizing” documents in hierarchal file system Benefits of the wiki idea

  9. What? Convert data into something we can comprehend… By developing or applying concepts… Quickly relating them to instances in the world… Applying and revising our world models, and… Sharing our thoughts with others How? Identify—concept encoding Generalize—organizing concepts by kind Aggregate—organizing complexes into simpler concepts Model Common Properties— relationships (connecting properties), & attributes (flat properties) Naming Conventions— terms / phrases; language Semantics? It’s what we do every second.

  10. Semantic Technologies:Represent meanings & knowledge about things so both computers and people can work with it

  11. Model knowledge about infrastructure, information, behavior, & domain expertise separately from programs, data, & documents

  12. SemanticsWe have plenty of experience encoding our thoughts and meanings…

  13. NCOIC Semantic Wiki Pilot Goal:Manage concepts, relationships & models across NCOIC products using a semantic wiki!

  14. Semantic WikisMake knowledge interoperable…

  15. Semantic TechnologiesMake knowledge executable…

  17. Semantic Wiki Concept of Operation

  18. The ProblemDocument-centric work group process • Inadequate process for reaching reasonable technical consensus • Costly & ineffective collaboration across work groups • Difficulty understanding & managing complex interrelationships across set of NCOIC products • Inefficient, error-prone, and time consuming process for aligning & harmonizing work products across work groups • Costly & ineffective process for managing changes and versions across NCOIC product set • Inability to support user needs to find all relevant NCOIC information and guidance in context • Lack comprehensive solution for compliance, export control, and jurisdictional viewing

  25. NCOIC Semantic Wiki PilotBenefits

  26. NCOIC Semantic Wiki PilotResults for NCOIC • Improve collaborative development, access to, and lifecycle management of NCOIC work products — including documents, knowledgebases, and underlying semantic models. • Establish an easily used social computing fabric for collaboration and consensus building across all concepts and work products that NCOIC is developing in its multiple working groups. • Pilot test a semantic wiki based concept of operations that provides work group collaboration; semantic email discussion; semantic search, query & navigation; content authoring, editing, and review; semantic modeling; harmonization of work products and models; automated change management & versioning; and semantic security, jurisdictional viewing & export control. • Enable creation, management and sharing of ontologies aligned with work products that all NCOIC members can share and use in multiple situations, especially to relate NCO problems, operational and technical requirements, force capabilities, architectural frameworks, architectural patterns, standards, and technology enablers. • Establish a semantic knowledge base that integrates NCOIC information and ontologies (semantic models) so that all concepts become visible and easily discoverable from a COI and user context perspective, consistent with jurisdictional viewing and export controls. • Create knowledge-based, executable NCO tools and collaborative applications that provide value to our stakeholders.

  27. Pilot Action Recommendations • Authorize the NCOIC Semantic Wiki Pilot • Charter NCOIC Semantic Team to: • Maintain the NCOIC semantic model • Technically support for Semantic Wiki Pilot • Manage creation of an Integrated Semantic Knowledge Base • Approve the Pilot Plan • Review Statement of Work • Allocate Pilot Budget • Execute the Semantic Wiki Pilot with participation from SII, CR, NCAT, Building Blocks, NIF • Write the Pilot Evaluation Report for the Tech Team
