Joint Data Strategy
Abstract
Primary OUTCOME (objective) for this effort is to ensure the Joint Warfighter has the ability to access and share critical Command and Control (C2) information. Currently, operators do not have visibility of what data exists for their use. If they have visibility of available data, they then experience difficulty in accessing that data primarily due to a lack of system or software interoperability. If they are able to access the data, they then are not able to determine if the data is actually what they need, still current, or the legitimacy of its pedigree. Data producers struggle with procedures on how to share their data with the operational consumers and on data description and tagging so that others understand it. USJFCOM, J87, has been designated the lead of the C2 Portfolio Data and Service Strategy. As the lead, JFCOM will work with COCOMs, Services, and Agencies (C/S/A) to achieve the primary outputs and efficiencies: making C2 data assets visible, accessible, understandable and interoperable by (1) Leading an effective C2 Portfolio Data Strategy Management Construct; (2) establishing a C2 Data Standards, C2 Data Framework and Best Practices; (3) Compiling authoritative data source (ADS) information supporting C2 and their exposure schedules provided by the data producers to inform C2 Capability recommendations; and (4) supporting key data pilots, Communities of Interest and other Data Strategy implementation activities in order to increase the Joint Warfighter's timely access to critical C2 information. The DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy: A DoD-wide effort to move from “privately” owned and stored data in disparate networks and within legacy systems/applications to an enterprise information environment where authorized known and authorized unanticipated users can access any information and can post their contributions for enterprise-wide access. If this initiative is not funded, the Warfighter will continue to not have visibility of available data for operational use, accessibility of the available data, and the ability to assess the data usefulness, pedigree and accuracy, how to communicate what data they need, how to share their data with others, and how to describe their data so that others may use it.
