CloudWall: BMDS Ontology for Information Management

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is charged with developing a Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to defend against missile attack on the United States or its allies. Performing this mission will require integration of a wide variety of different data sources to facilitate rapid and intuitive threat identification and response. The CloudWall toolset is envisioned to provide a scalable and extensible method of semantically integrating this data to accelerate the speed of decisions. The CloudWall approach is based on semantic integration through a runtime ontology that will empower sophisticated analysis and visualization tools both in real-time and for post event analysis.
