MDA Data SharingMDA Data SharingCommunity Of InterestCommunity Of Interest

• Feb 2006: Community of Interest formed between DoD, DHS, and DOT

• Sharing of MDA Data using Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) and Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) infrastructures

• First spiral: Unclas Automatic Identification System (AIS)

• 4 publishers from Navy, Coast Guard, Volpe Center

• 4 subscriber systems (legacy and user-defined)

• Common Vocabulary formed and published to DoD Metadata Registry

• COI Developers’ Page link at: https://metadata.solers.com/mdads/

• Pilot of Unclas AIS data sharing demonstrated October 2006 and December 2006 to executive-level audiences

• Way ahead: Perform Military Utility Assessment, expand AIS footprint, add AIS services, add other MDA data types (e.g., people, cargo, etc.)
