OVERVIEW
The Information Sharing Systems (ISS) support the DoD NetOps Strategic Vision
and Joint Concept of Operations (CONOPS) by providing an environment for
bi-directional sharing of information to achieve end-to-end situational
awareness about the Global Information Grid (GIG) network infrastructure,
dynamic ordering of Defense Information System Network (DISN) products, and
e-bonding with suppliers and partners.
The ISS have embraced the Web 2.0 concept of sharing information, allowing
many different methods of consuming and providing information. The systems are
implemented as a separate, centralized system set outside the protected boundary
of the DISN OSS using industry standard Web-based technologies. All DISN
information tagged for sharing is published to the ISS for consumption.
