- He has a role of FEA integrator and is involved in the administration of Grants.gov.
- Exactly what this means and it's impact on Grant availability or timing is unknown.

OpenFloorPlanDisplay first of a series of projects out-of IRSC and BSP.
Need to know how useful the Omni-class classifications will be in real-world use for floor plan display
- Floor plan for Harney demonstration needs room classification - how smart does the classification need to be? how do we use Omni-class etc...

Brand Niemann - Federal Enterprise Architecture FEA and SOA based eGov
Ontologists and Ontology Engineers: Josh(?), Mathew(?), Leo(?), others from OntologySummit2009 connection
others coming out of OntologySummit2009 follow-up communications

General discussion
- For a project to get funding there needs to be an anchor-point organization
- Need alignment with an inside player to obtain funding
- Ideally partner with company who is already doing First Responder Information Display work (Examples: Honeywell, Inc. and Net Talon)
Federal funding
- Companies need to be registered with the Central Contractor Registry under Grants.gov
Local level funding
- Take it to the local levels and understand there needs (what do they need to do their job better, faster?)
- Show best practices in sample implementations that could be readily transferred into real use
Industry consortium funding
- Not deemed likely unless through existing consortium with money set-up for demonstration, particularly since membership is often a requirement for funding eligibility
- Given the economy, not much is being given out from Industry for out-side groups to show proof-of-concepts.
Recommendation
- Focus pursuits at local level
- Market based on specific needs and how project work can address those needs
