PURPOSE

This "Guidance for Implementing Net-Centric Data Sharing" document is designed to complement Reference (a). Reference (a) codifies the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) Memorandum (Reference (b)), which describes the Department's official vision for data and information sharing in a net-centric environment through collaborative forums known as communities of interest (COIs). The goal of this Guide is to provide a set of activities that members of COIs and associated leadership can use to implement the key policies of Reference (a) and ultimately increase mission effectiveness across the Department of Defense. The activities presented in this Guide may not apply to all COIs and should be tailored as necessary.
