DAML Program Objectives

The goal of the DAML program is to create technologies that will enable software agents to dynamically identify and understand information sources, and to provide interoperability between agents in a semantic manner. This goal will be pursued by a research plan that includes the following six tasks:

Create an Agent Mark-Up Language (DAML) built upon XML that allows users to provide machine-readable semantic annotations for specific communities of interest.
Create tools that embed DAML markup on to web pages and other information sources in a manner that is transparent and beneficial to the users.
Use these tools to build up, instantiate, operate, and test sets of agent-based programs that markup and use DAML.
Measure, via empirical experimentation, the productivity improvements provided by these tools.
Apply these tools to third party agent development, military-specific problems, and support for the intelligence community so as to evolve DAML technologies towards large-scale use.
Transition DAML to the commercial and military markets via partnerships with industrial and defense-related (C2 - Command & Control - and intelligence) organizations.
