Description

The Multi-Domain Enterprise Routing Information Tool (MERIT) solution will transform multi-source data into actionable intelligence by use of (1) enterprise level and domain level logical modeling, (2) smart routing, and (3) smart linking and storing of data, collectively enhancing the ability to quickly and securely retrieve targeted data and assist with execution at scale within the Multi-Domain Federated Query (MDFQ) architecture. The innovative system will enhance the individual data elements by establishing relationships on ingest. MERIT will stage the data, prepare the data for routing, tag the data, and provision data for multi-domain analytics and subsequent rapid information product dissemination across multiple security enclaves. Techniques to be investigated include topic modeling, neural nets, deep learning, recommendation engines, and semantic classifiers. Our long-term vision is that MERIT will (1) ingest, route, correlate, and store data, to build a knowledge graph for all domains which will provide a holistic view for each permission level while ensuring strong governance and security to prevent loss or incorrect routing of data, and (2) help the Warfighter aggregate content from multiple DoD sources with the best technology and performance, which will help DCGS-N successfully manage data across the enterprise.
