The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC®), as one of the Department of Defense (DoD) A gency’s missions, is to provide essential, technical research, develo pment, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) information rapidly, accurately, and reliably to support our DoD customers' needs. DTIC's collectio ns contain over 4.5 million documents, including technical reports, researc h in progress, international agreements, and Independent Research and Devel opment (IR&D) summaries. DTIC also publishes searchable Congressional b udget data shortly after its release from Congress. DTIC acquires approxima tely 25,000 new research documents each year, expected to triple in number in the next few years. A key challenge for DTIC is to make this data useful to end users. In response, DTIC has invested in an enterprise metadata str ategy to provide efficient and consistent information extraction methods ac ross its collections and develop downstream applications that will leverage this metadata in order to automate much of the manual effort it takes rese archers to search through data in order to find answers.
