MOD Ontology
The MOD Ontology is the name given to the upper ontology intended to support the UK Ministry of Defence's Enterprise Architecture Programme, specifically MODAF. The ontology project is at an early stage and is being led by DG-Info (ICAD). The current plan as of March 2008 is to investigate potential applications for ontology in the MOD. Wherever possible, MOD is seeking to re-use existing ontology standards, an obvious candidate therefore is the ontology being developed by the IDEAS Group The IDEAS Group is the International Defence Enterprise Architecture Specification for exchange Group. The deliverable of the project is a data exchange format for military Enterprise Architectures. The scope is four nation (plus NATO as observer .... Implementations * GeoPolitical Ontology Demonstrator - this uses the IDEAS naming pattern (for de-confliction of country codes, etc.), the whole-part pattern (for geopolitical structure) and the overlaps pattern (for borders).

Upper Ontology
In information science, an upper ontology (also known as a top-level ontology, upper model, or foundation ontology) is an ontology (in the sense used in information science) which consists of very general terms (such as "object", "property", "relation") that are common across all domains. An important function of an upper ontology is to support broad semantic interoperability among a large number of domain-specific ontologies by providing a common starting point for the formulation of definitions. Terms in the domain ontology are ranked under the terms in the upper ontology, e.g., the upper ontology classes are superclasses or supersets of all the classes in the domain ontologies. A number of upper ontologies have been proposed, each with its own proponents. Library classification systems predate upper ontology systems. Though library classifications organize and categorize knowledge using general concepts that are the same across all knowledge domains, neither system is a replac ...

UK Ministry Of Defence
The Ministry of Defence (MOD or MoD) is the department responsible for implementing the defence policy set by His Majesty's Government, and is the headquarters of the British Armed Forces. The MOD states that its principal objectives are to defend the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its interests and to strengthen international peace and stability. The MOD also manages day-to-day running of the armed forces, contingency planning and defence procurement. The expenditure, administration and policy of the MOD are scrutinised by the Defence Select Committee, except for Defence Intelligence which instead falls under the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament. History During the 1920s and 1930s, British civil servants and politicians, looking back at the performance of the state during the First World War, concluded that there was a need for greater co-ordination between the three services that made up the armed forces of the United Kingdom: the ...

MODAF
The British Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF) was an enterprise architecture framework, architecture framework which defined a standardised way of conducting enterprise architecture, originally developed by the British Ministry of Defence, UK Ministry of Defence. It has since been replaced with the NATO Architecture Framework. Initially the purpose of MODAF was to provide rigour and structure to support the definition and integration of MOD equipment capability, particularly in support of network-enabled capability (NEC). The MOD additionally used MODAF to underpin the use of the enterprise architecture approach to the capture of the information about the business to identify the processes and resources required to deliver the vision expressed in the strategy. Overview MODAF was an internationally recognised enterprise architecture framework developed by the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), MOD to support Defence planning and change management activitie ...

IDEAS Group
The IDEAS Group is the International Defence Enterprise Architecture Specification for exchange Group. The deliverable of the project is a data exchange format for military Enterprise Architectures. The scope is four nation (plus NATO as observers) and covers MODAF (UK), DoDAF (USA), DNDAF (Canada) and the Australian Defence Architecture Framework (AUSDAF). The initial scope for exchange is the architectural data required to support coalition operations planning - * Systems - communications systems, networks, software applications, etc. * Communications links between systems * Information specifications - the types of information (and their security classifications) that the comms architecture will handle * Platforms & facilities. * System & operational functions (activities) * People & organizations * Architecture meta-data - who owns it, who was the architect, name, version, description, etc. The work has begun with the development of a formal ontology to specify the data e ...
