Abstract

The Integrated Collaborative Environment (ICE) is a federated software framework that aims at connecting disparate systems for the purpose of enhanced productivity in the AFRL community. To meet demands for greater efficiency and better research, ICE acts as a common mediator between numerous optimized services. In order to achieve that goal of federated interconnection, a common language is necessary in order to map data from one system to another. That common language must be capable of ensuring data integrity and traceability all while providing the convenience of an interconnected web of software and services.

I or Handle, the ICE team opted to create a custom framework which addresses the unique requirements of DOD research, such as security. These persistent identifiers are the first-class master names for all objects that exist within ICE, guaranteeing that users can transfer and house data within the ICE ecosystem as they wish with ease, all while retaining a complete map of how data relate to one another and where they live. Data elements can then be related from one system to another through the Hub, for instance, such that all elements relating to some defined category can be depicted with full confidence to the user. Moreover, the ICE PIDs are agnostic to the platforms to which it communicates, enabling the PID to act through the ICE Common Service Bus as a mediator between truly federated exchanges. Through the use of PIDs, the research community is provided with data that are more accessible, more accurate, and more traceable.
