An Enterprise Identifier Strategy for Global Naming Across Arbitrary C4I Systems
Abstract
In any information system, a critical feature is the ability to link together disparate pieces of data and information via relationships. One way to greatly facilitate this task is to provide a common identification technique that allows data and information items be conveniently and uniformly referenced. This can be accomplished by standardizing one field across disparate data sources. Perhaps no simpler enhancement can produce such a huge benefit with as little intrusion into legacy systems. This is the objective of enterprise identifiers. If data can be globally identified using a common scheme, then one can spontaneously reference, and ultimately, plug and play disparate, arbitrary pieces of information without prior coordination.
