A DRM for the Environment
How do you provide a mechanism for all environmental data; i.e., take into account all native data models?
One approach: Capture all elements into one Data Model
- Hard to agree on
- Hard to determine all possible applications or combinations
- Impossible to capture all possible data models (never ending task)
The SEDRIS DRM approach:
- Decompose known environmental data models into components
- Generalize and extrapolate variations
- Unify common components
- Verify completeness by forward and reverse mappings to known data models
- Use the DRM as the building blocks for common representation
- Plan for change
