Factors to Include in Addressing the Common Environmental Model

• Need a common set of environmental technologies for applications (Systems Approach not a single application view) with an open architecture

• Four (4) functions for database development and transmission

  • Every application needs the data to be
    • Uniquely labeled and defined
    • Geo-located
    • Arranged/structured
    • Moveable (common format)

• Systems Engineering

  • Best systems engineering has the concept separated from structure to allow for ease of maintainability (can add concepts without need for changing structure of database)

• DoD guidance

  • DoD IT Management plan lists hierarchy (International (ISO), Regional (NATO STANAGS), National (ANSI), Consortia (SISO), Military (DISR, DSP), and de facto (MS WORD))
