Key Goals The CODIP program provides frameworks and components for intelligent processing of information based on its semantics.!application of an UML technology to leverage existing resources to provide knowledge engineering capability.!ontological processing components and services that can bring built-in knowledge processing capability to applications. 2
Applications and Products! Three primary product areas support of these goals: ODKD Kage Duet Duet to support visualization, application and management of ontologies using the UML/MOF engineering standards, Kage to support applications with analysis, translation, and repository functionality, and ODKD for semantics based publication of information to subscribers.!these products are built from library of reusable components that may be integrated into other applications. 3

Framework for Intelligent Information Systems and implementation of ODM. Framework Integration of Open Source and third party NetBeans MDR, Kaon, Jess, Apache, and AT&T developed components 4
Driven Knowledge Dissemination! -based contentdefined publication channels! Topical Repository hierarchical archive of information! Publishers provide OWL Annotations linked to message content! Matching content blocks are published to subscribers of the matching channels 5
