Sharing Information Today: Maritime Domain Awareness

In a world where unforeseen human or natural disasters (i.e., U.S.S. Cole, September 11, Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the possibility of an avian flu pandemic) may occur, interagency information sharing and collaboration is essential to mitigating the effects of these types...

Description
Summary:In a world where unforeseen human or natural disasters (i.e., U.S.S. Cole, September 11, Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the possibility of an avian flu pandemic) may occur, interagency information sharing and collaboration is essential to mitigating the effects of these types of catastrophic events. The Maritime Domain Awareness Data Sharing Community of Interest (MDA DS COI) pilot demonstrated a net-centric data-sharing capability as a first step towards addressing the common challenge of global identification and tracking of maritime vessels, cargo, and crew usage of existing information sources to better secure our coasts, ports, and waterways. This Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Department of Transportation (DOT) partnership developed capabilities to expose maritime data as a consumable Web-enabled service to authorized, unanticipated users employing community-based agreements defining a common vocabulary and data-sharing services. This COI pilot also leveraged enterprise services resulting in a repeatable process, an extensible vocabulary, and reusable services available for developing responsive, agile solutions for any number of data-sharing challenges.
