The Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) approved the Command and Control Systems - Simulation Systems Interoperation (C2SIM) international standard in April 2020. C2SIM standardizes information interchange across command and control (C2) systems, simulation systems, and robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) for scenario initialization, orders, and reports. The C2SIM standard replaces the Military Scenario Definition Language (MSDL; SISO-STD-007-2008) and Coalition Battle Management Language (C-BML; SISO-STD-011-2014) SISO standards. The C2SIM standard specifies a core logical data model using the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Previous papers presented at the Simulation Innovation Workshop have intimated at what becomes possible when expressing a SISO standard in a formal ontology. This paper provides an informal introduction to key ideas in the use of ontologies, with particular attention to further refinement and application of the C2SIM standard.
