Вимоги до технічних сервісів, які використовують метадані у єдиному інформаційному середовищі сил оборони України

According to the Strategic Defense Bulletin of Ukraine (strategic goal 1, task 1.5), digital transformation and the implementation of modern information technologies are defined as key priorities for the Defense Forces of Ukraine. The expected outcome of these measures is the creation and full-scale operation of the Federated Defense Network and mission networks, based on multidomain interoperability among components of the Defense Forces, NATO member states, and their partners. An analysis of Ukraine’s experience in asymmetric confrontation with the Russian Federation (RF) highlights the necessity of continuously enhancing information superiority over the adversary. The purpose of this article is to define and justify the requirements for technical services that utilize metadata within the unified information environment. Technical services operating with metadata must support extensive functionality, ranging from metadata generation, validation, storage, and updating to integration with access management systems and security policies. Functional requirements for metadata-based technical services should encompass all stages of the data lifecycle: from labeling, classification, and description to ensuring mechanisms for search, access control, and the enforcement of retention and deletion policies. At the same time, non-functional requirements – particularly in the areas of information security, scalability, performance, compliance with accepted information exchange standards, fault tolerance, and the ability to integrate into multi-layered and hybrid environments – are critically important conditions for ensuring the trustworthiness, stability, and adaptability of such technical services.
