Purpose

Seminar Purpose
The seminar will discuss the Department of Defense (DoD) Net-Centric Data Strategy; its implementation activities and approaches; and how it may affect industry and the products they produce.

Background
The overall objective of net-centric information and data management is to populate the DoD network -- known as the Global Information Grid (GIG) -- with discoverable, useful, dynamic sources of information. It provides the roadmap for how the Department will effectively manage its valued data assets (e.g., systems or application files, databases, documents, web pages, or services that access data from an application).

DoD Goal
The goal of the Department is to make data assets understandable, visible, and accessible to the unanticipated user as well as the known user and yet deny the enemy access. The goal of the Industry Day Event is to share this vision with industry such that they can better support their DoD clients with products and services in support of DoD's net-centric objectives.
