Abstract:
This paper explores the Information Exchange Framework (IEF)
concept of distributed data fusion sensor networks in Network-centric
environment. It is used to build up integrative battlefield pictures
through the Battle Management Language (BML) and System Entity
Structure (SES) ontology for C2 systems. The C2 process requires
multi-level information to assess the current situation in a sound
manner. Superiority of information is critical factor to win battles.
The SES is an ontology framework that can facilitate information
exchange in a network environment. From the perspective of the SES
framework, BML serves to express pragmatic frames, since it can
specify the information desired by a consumer in an unambiguous way.
We explain the idea of information exchange in the SES ontology via
BML and demonstrate pruning and transformation processes of SES with
proof-of-concept examples.
