A Semantic Web approach for military scenario development

The initial conditions of a military scenario have to combine various military resources, including planned missions, task organizations, equipment items, and command relationship. Intelligently discovering how these military resources are related in order to enable effective war-fighting simulation is a significant challenge in military scenario development. This study proposes an Ontology-based Military Scenario Resources Management (OMSRM) platform which is based on ontology technologies to facilitate discovery, matchmaking, and reuse of military resources through their semantic description. To demonstrate the feasibility of OMSRM platform, an application of military scenario is implemented to generate an MSDL document for simulators.
