The DoD Gateway Information System.

Abstract

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is sponsoring development of a DoD Gateway Information System (DGIS) to provide online, streamlined methods for identifying, accessing, searching and analyzing data from heterogenous databases of interest to the DoD community. Present-day access to information resources (data-bases) is limited since each database has its own complex access procedure and command language. In addition, results from multiple databases cannot be combined or analyzed easily by the user. The Gateway will provide DoD researchers and managers access to many different databases using a single, simple access procedure. Queries of databases will be performed using a common command language, relieving the system user of the need to learn and master separate languages and procedures for each database accessed. A prototype system is under development at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The characteristics required in the DGIS and the development approach for designing a prototype system are described.
