Extending rich semantics in an architecture for data sharing and collaboration for counter terrorism
Bradley R. Bebee, B. Thompson · 2005
This paper presents the most recent experimental results of ongoing efforts to architect and prototype an end-to-end system. The application of simple XML-based specifications for messages is presented in the context of creating a light-weight and flexible means to bring content into analytical systems. The use of stateful and persistent styles of building Web services using a representational state transfer (REST-ful) model is presented as a means for providing publication and subscription style services. Finally, the spectrum of well-described information to constrained operational semantics is explored within the context of requirements to support services for collaborative analysis; the preliminary results strongly suggest well-described information with flexibly defined constraints is well-suited for services to enable analytical processes for counter terrorism data sharing and collaboration.
