Semantic Interoperability Framework (Cadre de l'Interoperabilite Semantique)
Abstract
Information superiority is one of the primary issues for NATO Network Enabled Capability (NNEC). It builds on the idea of a common information space where all participating elements and organizations have the opportunity to supply and retrieve information according to their particular roles in the operation. Future C4I systems must be capable of accessing, understanding , and utilizing the information content within this space. Information must be conveyed in a secure and trusted way. This includes the idea that the meaning of the information and the purpose of the information exchange are understood and interpreted identically everywhere and at all times. This level of understanding between all elements participating in joint/combined operations requires a broad attention to the context of information and the concepts contained within the information. True understanding of the concepts within the information can be equated to understanding the semantics of the information. The vital need for Semantic Interoperability has been repeatedly recognized and some related projects have been set up but, on one hand, further research is still required and, on the other hand, Semantic Interoperability still needs dissemination and must be brought to the attention of decision makers at all decision levels.
