Integrated Oil Debris and Condition Sensor for Helicopter Transmissions and Engines

Application extensibility and personalization, flexible querying of databases, schema (dictionary) integration, and automatic data translation are significant problems for the interoperation and integration of distributed systems. We seek an innovativesolution to these problems through the development of a semantic mapping and modeling toolkit, which we refer to as userSMARTs(tm), and a companion set of online application services. The toolkit will build, edit and maintain a base of codified semanticinformation models, distributed over networks, by using Web-based semantic modeling capabilities like RDF/Schema and other XML-based technologies. Using userSMARTs, database and warehouse administrators will be able to map data elements in source andtarget schemas to these distributed semantic information models. This will then provide the semantic-richness necessary for flexible distributed queries, schema integration, automated data translation, and enhanced application support, especially in theareas of personalization and business process sharing. The objectives of this Phase II project are to: develop an alpha version of userSMARTs, promote the advancement of industry standards for semantic capabilities, and finally, to demonstrate thefeasibility of this technology for Army/DOD geospatial applications, and for civilian and commercial Web applications.
