  We must build in more agile, flexible designs," DOD's Michael Todd says.
  ...
  So hot that after an hour discussing the subject during an online forum on GCN.com—the Web site of Defense Systems' sister publication GCN—Michael Todd, associate director for information management in the Defense Department CIO's office, still had a slew of questions sitting in the queue.
  
  Todd spent time after the forum responding to all the questions, submitted via e-mail mostly from DOD domains.Here are a selection of those questions and Todd's answers:
  
  QUESTION: A net-centric approach is a great idea.But won't it be too difficult to implement?Won't IP Version 6, WiMAX [IEEE 802.16] and all the other developing standards be too costly to integrate after deployment? TODD: We cannot afford to stand still.We must build in more agile, flexible designs.By decoupling the data from the applications and exposing the standards used, we expect to ease the transition to newer technologies.
  
  QUESTION: What is being done to define terms like organization, document and location, which are common to a great many communities of interest?If these definitions are too loose, they will lose their value. TODD: Agreed.We have defined a common set of tags in the DOD Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS) based on the international standard Dublin Core for categorizing data.
  ...
  TODD: We have been populating our metadata registry for several years.We are at various stages of maturity in the development of common vocabularies, taxonomies, ontologies and semantic mappings.We are learning to crawl before we walk, walk before we run as it relates to the sophistication in our data representations and the relationships between data and its uses.
  
  QUESTION: Are there any non-DOD organizations or commercial companies moving to a net-centric model?TODD: There appear to be trends in this direction across the medical and banking industries, to name a couple.Developing data vocabularies and using Web-based technologies to expose the data, while leveraging service-oriented architectures, are not solely the domain of DOD.
  
  The push for improved federal, state and local information sharing is following similar patterns, though the term net-centric may not necessarily be used.
