ISR Operations Taxonomy*
Research Questions:
• Can an adequate unclassified ISR Operations taxonomy be
built from open source material?
• Can an unclassified ISR Operations taxonomy be designed
in a way that: – Is repeatable?
– Is easily accessible and understandable to the end user?
• How can an ISR Operations taxonomy… – Provide terms for population of metadata?
– Be effectively exported to a machine-readable language and used to
facilitate searches?
*Classification scheme to categorize ISR Operations data assets (i.e.,
platforms and sensors) Approved for Public Release

User Feedback
• Human Readable
– Download metrics on Data Services Environment reflect interest in the
ISR taxonomies
– Differences in opinion on categorization of terms and overall hierarchy
• Machine Ingestible
– Longer PT and NPT names may result in unreadable User Interface (UI)
list labels as well as impacting search

Summary
• Successfully answered our research questions – Can an adequate unclassified ISR Operations taxonomy be built from
open source material?
– Can an unclassified ISR Operations taxonomy be designed in a way
that it is repeatable and understandable?
– How can an ISR Operations taxonomy be exported to a machine-
readable language and used to facilitate searches and provide terms for
population of metadata
• Nine step framework essential to our proof of concept,
but not without its limitations
