A Heterogeneous Battlefield Situation Information Sharing Method Based on Content

Various information systems adopt different information category standards and description methods even for the same battlefield space. This leads to the heterogeneity of information distributed in different systems, which hinders the information sharing among different systems. In this paper, we adopt the idea of schema mapping and design a framework of realizing heterogeneous information sharing based on content. We design a concept-logic tree model to organize the battlefield situation information and realize the mapping from local concept models in different systems to a global unified concept model. By constructing a unified information space, we realize the centralized organization, storage, and management of entity description information. Then, the information broadcasting mechanism and content based information query mechanism are designed to realize information sharing. Theoretical analysis and experiment results verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
