DISDI Implementation: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Costi Tudan

The Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) is the underlying information infrastructure providing DoD Installations & Environment (I&E) mission essential geospatial data across the Global Information Grid (GIG). DISDI supports the development of standards and policy to enable the sharing and interoperability of high-quality geospatial data at all levels of installation management. DISDI ensures that I&E information infrastructure is aligned with DoD enterprise net-centric data sharing strategies. The goal is to reduce redundant IT investments, and increase the availability of quality geospatial data to any DoD mission in the basing space or battle space.

In the process of implementing the DISDI goals, we encounter many challenges. This presentation will address how these challenges have affected the interoperability goal and what are some solutions to continue to deliver on the promise of horizontal integration. This presentation will also address the impact of security requirements and standards on the DoD geospatial enterprise and the web services architecture.
