Description
Summary:Enemy or Threat Courses of Action are produced during Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield during the Military Decision Making Process, and as part of the process of Situation Development. Due to the overwhelming amount of information involved in these processes and the limited time available to intelligence analysts, significant efforts are underway to develop computer based tools to assist in these processes. For these to be successful there needs to be a way for formally representing Enemy/Threat Courses of Action. This paper investigates the requirements for and potential solutions to this problem using OWL, elements of JC3IEDM and the OWL Time ontology. See also ADM002299.
