Two years ago, we accomplished the Travis Open Database Proof of Concept and showed that a simulation database developed to industry standard, open formats could be easily targeted to a variety of image generators. Furthermore, we showed that we could save considerable time and money by reusing this open database. This paper will show how we used the results of this proof of concept to develop a standard to purchase open databases. As we found out, developing a standard like this is very complex management task and requires coordination with many different organizations. We reviewed several DoD open database programs as well as our own work before we settled upon an approach; but, even after we settled on our basic approach, we still had many issues to resolve. Some of those issues were: data rights, metadata, cross-service standards, management consensus, database libraries, sensor databases, etc. This paper will show how we addressed these issues and then show the standard that resulted from this work.
