From 23 to 25 May 2023, the JALLC organized a Workshop in partnership with a NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Research Task Group (SAS-IST-179) on Semantic Representation to Enhance Exploitation of Military Lessons Learned (LL). The workshop explored how semantic representation could be used to enhance LL exploitation in future AI–driven LL systems. NATO and many nations are currently working on modernizing and transforming their LL systems to increase the automation of LL activities. Semantic representation enhances the ability of machines to understand context, and offers the potential for future LL tools to be smarter and more automated.

In this factsheet you can read about the workshop and the work doen by particpants to develop User Stories which, combined with User Journeys and Imaginary Futuristic LL Tools will inform detailed Use Case development by the STO Research Task Group. In turn, the Use Cases will inform the pre-capability development phase of the NATO LL Toolset, which is mapped out under the Innovation Line of Effort in the NATO LL Capability Improvement Roadmap 2021-2025. You can also find out more about Lessons Learned Semenatic Representation and what it could mean for the future of the NATO LL Capability.
