Enabling Data Management of Intellectual Property License Rights for the Department of Defense : Acquisition Innovation Research Center , February 14 , 2025
From the report: 'The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking to enhance its Data Management practices for Intellectual Property (IP) License Rights by researching commercial best practices, standards, and technologies. This study identifies the role of data structuring, cleansing, tagging, ontologies, taxonomies, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models in optimizing data management. Current DoD applications, including Joint All Domain Operations, Senior Leader Decision Support, and Business Analytics, utilize AI-driven platforms such as JADC2, ADA, and Advana to facilitate structured data retrieval and decision-making. The study also highlights commercial best practices, such as metadata governance, compliance with ISO standards, and adherence to the FAIR principles for improved data usability.
Challenges to adoption include the complexities of data valuation, enterprise-wide governance, and security concerns. To overcome these obstacles, the report recommends leveraging the Enterprise Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Cost (EVAMOSC) model, establishing secure data lakes, implementing AI-powered data transformation, and developing intuitive dashboards for improved decision-making. Moving forward, the DoD should focus on identifying data sources, evaluating storage solutions, defining security protocols, and formulating an IP-specific data management policy. By integrating commercial methodologies with AI-driven analytics, the DoD can achieve a more secure, interoperable, and efficient data management framework."
