1.5: Understandability
Make Services Understandable Other Information:
Providers of services must use a common set of service description information to enable consistent discovery by users throughout
the enterprise. A Service Specification Template (SST) will serve as the common model for providing service description information.
The SST will capture, at a minimum, the following information about a service: What the service does How users can access
the service Which security mechanisms or restrictions apply to the service Various points of contact for the service (e.g.,
the name, contact information for the service provider) Service-level characteristics Performance information. In addition
to descriptive information about services, Communities of Interest (COIs) will define the vocabularies and business rules
that underlie the implementation of services. This will help ensure that the inputs and outputs for a service are well-understood
and consistent within a functional community (e.g., all services that provide satellite situational awareness will use consistent
terminology and rules for providing information back to users). Key Action: 1. Execute PDM-III Core Services Recommendations.
Outcome: Expedite delivery of the CES that constitute the common, shared secure infrastructure of the net-centric services
vision.
