I agree. The tricky bit to manage the bottom up incorporation of the ontologies by first getting them into use in the currently and near-term fielded architectures that are smartly optimized for managed extensibility from procurement to maintenance. The data dimension is easy, but cross-ontolgical or relationships are not because these are the most localized dimension, that is, they require the most flexible implementation. The challenge is that a boiled-down set tends to be a subset of the local enterprise set, and that is what the RFP is written to. Tools like JIEMS can enable the ideal design but the ideal is always compromised by the nesting of the enterprise in the supra-organizational layers, say the state vs the local ordinances. There is no common criminal justice system and even within a local domain such as cities in a state, reporting requirements are still variable for operational reasons. It's shrinkwrap vs customization with the global vocabulary as a mediator. The ideas outlined below are what can be done most effectively now to make that commitment real today. Guidance to procurement sources will be expedient. len From: Chiusano Joseph [mailto:chiusano_joseph@b...] Thanks Len - all excellent thoughts. Acknowledging that I'm stating the obvious, ontologies - and cross-ontology reasoning - go a long way in realizing the approaches that you outline below.
