Two years after individual U.S. Department of Defense agencies began developing Web services to integrate applications, the DOD is ramping up efforts to make hundreds of Web services available to end users throughout the military's operations.
The DOD has begun installing Web services registry technology from Burlington, Mass.-based Systinet Corp. at its enterprise computing center in Columbus, Ohio. Slated to go into production this summer, the registry is intended to allow developers across the department to locate specific Web services.
The Defense Information Systems Agency will begin cataloging Web services developed by the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and other groups within the DOD, said Robert Vietmeyer, DISA's chief engineer for the Net-Centric Enterprise Services program.
