Does SEDRIS solve the interoperability and correlation problem?
SEDRIS will help the interoperability problem by providing a consistent, integrated, and correlated view of the environment – for each interoperable simulation application to use. From the SEDRIS data representation model (DRM) of “ground truth”, each application will develop its own run-time databases – a process that may create correlation problems. Since each application started from the same SEDRIS transmittal, the correlation issues will be easier to detect and resolve before conduct of the simulation or other use of the data. The interchange of a consistent DRM becomes one of the conditions, but not the only condition, on the path to achieving interoperability. Therefore, SEDRIS, by itself, does not solve the interoperability problem, but will provide technology enabling the solution.
