ICML Prologue

by IC Metadata Sub-Working Group

ICML Prologue

The IC Metadata Sub-Working Group (MSWG) has developed the Intelligence Community Markup Language (ICML) as part of the ICCIO Executive Council and Working Group commitment to IC inter-organization interoperability. ICML is based on a number of data modeling activities that have occurred in the IC over the last ten years, all of which have been used in one way or another to develop ICML.

The first focus of ICML is to aid finished intelligence production. Since a majority of the intelligence content being produced within the IC takes the form of documents, it was felt by the MSWG that limiting the scope of the initial ICML release to this type of intelligence content would yield the most benefits in the shortest period of time. The ICML standard as written incorporates key writing styles, metadata, and structure requirements of typical IC products.

ICML is described as a Document Type Definition (DTD). The ICML DTD defines tags, much like HTML, that communicate important descriptive and structural information about intelligence content that resides within a document, product, or information module. ICML introduces: 1) various document/product structures, such as reports, articles, and analytical packets; 2) a new, expanded collection of document/product metadata broken into administrative and descriptive categories; 3) the most commonly used generic document components, such as paragraphs, lists, tables, and media; 4) CAPCO-compliant security models; and 5) descriptive content tags for more clearly indicating the subject matter of the information.

This release of the ICML is version 0.5. It is targeted for use by all intelligence production components of the nine agencies, the four military services, the J2, the nine unified commands, and the three national centers (counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and crime and narcotics). It is expected that this release, and subsequent releases, will be commented on by any and all of these components as part of a continuing effort to develop and deploy standards that are applicable to the widest IC audience possible.

We have outlined a multiple step evaluation process contained in the ICML v0.5 Release Notes. Please provide feedback on as many issues as possible keeping in mind that different questions may need to be answered by different types of specialists. To date, comprehensive ICML documentation has not been developed. This is planned for the 1.0 release in early December. Without this documentation, you are left to interpret some parts of the models on your own. Where there is any confusion over the models or definitions, please request further explanation if possible prior to the evaluation cutoff date using the feedback method on the ICML web site, http://www.xml.saic.com/icml. Otherwise, indicate in your evaluation response that more information was necessary to evaluate a particular model.
