Data Warehouse

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), an agency of the Department of Defense (DoD), serves the DoD community as the largest central resource for DoD and government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business related information available today.The Information Analysis Centers (IACs) are research and analysis organizations established by the Department of Defense (DoD) and operated by DTIC, to help researchers, engineers, scientists and program managers throughout the Government utilize existing Scientific and Technical Information (STI) to solve their most difficult challenges. Specifically, IACs improve the productivity of researchers, engineers, and program managers in the defense and civilian agency research, development, and acquisition communities by collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating worldwide STI in clearly defined, specialized fields or subject areas. To accomplish the objectives above, IACs establish and maintain comprehensive

knowledge bases that include historical, technical, scientific, and other data and information collected worldwide. IACs historically also worked directly with customers on contractor-performed, customer-funded Technical Area Tasks (TATs) (task orders), which yield new STI.2. ObjectiveDTIC requires a data warehouse contractor (referred to herein as "Contractor A" or "data warehouse contractor") to: 1) Receive the selected hardcopy STI from the current contractor (referred to herein as "Contractor B" or the outgoing contractor") (in the event contract turnover occurs), which will be delivered by the current contractor to the data warehouse contractor at the incoming's contractors' expense, and unpack, inventory/catalogue and store it, 2) develop and maintain a single electronic metadata database and catalog for the transferred STI, 3) In response to requests from the DSIAC contractor: retrieve, scan/digitize, and transmit STI and its metadata "on demand" to DSIAC, and 4) digitize, using OCR conversion and other methods as appropriate to the media, hard copy documents, microfiche, and microfilm, providing the digitized products to DTIC for its technical library. The overarching intent of this effort is not to preserve paper documents or microfiche/microfilm per se but rather to enable DSIAC customers to electronically research and retrieve from this collection selected materials when needed. The entire media collection must be stored and electronically catalogued so as to enable digital conversion and transmission of those selected materials that have current research value to the DSIAC and DTIC user base.Contact Information: Majesta J.
