Information is Different

• Develop Once - Use Many Times - and
  Simultaneously
• Value is Not Created Until the End of the Last
  Mile
• A Vulnerability Created by One is a Vulnerability
  Imposed upon Many
• A Deficiency Created by One is a Deficiency for
  Many

Wrap Up

• Information Management is a vital aspect of the
  GIG
• Information is data elevated by context
• The DoD CIO is pursuing a Community of Interest
  approach to data management
• Assurance that critical data bases will be
  available to the warfighter requires an
  Enterprise approach
• NetOps is the Enterprise approach
