This document contains the proceedings from the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) Information/Data Base Technology Working Group (I/DBTWG) meeting and related Task Force meetings held at the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) during the week of July 11-15, 1994. (Note that the name of the I/DBTWG has been changed from the previous name I/DB Task Group (I/DBTG)). The work described here was performed for the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office as part of its initiative to strengthen the use of simulation and modeling throughout DoD. RAND's participation in this effort was performed for the Director, Defense Modeling and Simulation Office within the Applied Science and Technology Program of RAND's National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff. This work should be of interest to those working in the areas of interoperability of information systems, information resource management (IRM), data dictionary systems, resource directories, data modeling and use of IDEF tools, complex data, data verification, validation, and certification (VV & C), data quality, and assessment of data management technology.
