3
Issues

• Community of practice made up of all services
• More than one community (Learning)
• Lessons learned
• Doctrine
• Training
• Leader training
• Knowledge management

4
Issues

• Embedded, networked training may be opportunity
• Higher level training and embedded training
  should probably be linked to some extent
• Potential for linkage between field systems and
  schoolhouse training
• Need to coordinate DAML and Advanced Distributed
  Learning initiative
• DAML might support the concept of doctrine
  without borders (dynamic doctrine with auto
  ripple effects)

5
Issues

• Linkages to experts or mentors may be a key
  resource
• DAML may provide opportunity to link distributed
  lower-level expertise without the info having to
  go to the top and filter back down (peer-to-peer)
• There is a large body of non-DAMLised information
  (explicit and non-explicit) that needs to be
  exploited

6
Way Ahead

• To get started choose a mission area with common
  service interest and strong joint flavor
  challenge problem for DAML
• Close air support
• Land Mine Countermeasures
• Project chosen must be unclassified

7
Way Ahead (more)

• Construct ontologies for above starting with
  Joint Task List and Service Task Lists
• Convert existing doctrine to XML/DAML
• Add experimental, theater specific,
  tactics/procedures, obsolete doctrine
• Add lessons learned information
• Demonstrate capability to dynamically add new
  lessons learned
• Be able to combine into an op plan, battle book
• Experiment with usefulness for training/operations
  
• What constitutes usefulness for user/producer?
• What are the applicable questions metrics?

8
Way Ahead (more)

• Identify some specific agents that would act as
  multipliers in this domain
• Need capability for users to access the
  appropriate view based on the users history of
  use
• How to take advantage of other users search
  experience (Amazon.com when you order book
  other people who ordered that book also ordered
  these books)
• Need to couple learning/doctrine community
  closely with operational close air support
  community
