One was a system that registered and tracked Military Health Services automated systems. Another was a Change Request Tracking system that recorded the entire life cycle of engineering change requests. The later was a decision support tool allowing functional analysts the capability to examine, evaluate, and produce standard data elements that conformed to DoD guidelines and NIST. These systems were developed using CASE Tools and structured analysis/design methodology.

Mr. Oncale was solely responsible for evaluating the Defense Medical Data Dictionary (DMDD) System. This was a repository for data elements proposed by all Defense Medical Systems as standards for the medical community, adhering to Information Resource Dictionary System (IRDS) standards. The DMDD resides on a VAX 8250 and was primarily built using FOCUS DBMS. Mr. Oncale reengineered the DMDD database file configuration that increased response time by a factor of five. Additionally, his experience in Key Word Out of Context (KWOC) data structures was used to enhance the DMDD tool set.

Mr. Oncale was a key participant in the Intelligence Data Elements Authorized Standards (IDEAS) project for DIA. This project supported a data dictionary for classified DIA and overall DoD data element standardization. The IDEAS System was developed and maintained in an SCIF environment at the DIAC and required a TS/SEI/TK (& other caveats) clearance. Mr. Oncale's first responsibility was to configure development, testing, and production partitions on an IBM mainframe and the loading of raw data from tape onto IBM mainframe drives. He was responsible for developing and implementing a methodology for data and software sharing to all requesting DoD Agencies and implementing sub-systems to correctly label soft and hard data sheets with the correct security markings. Additionally he was responsible for establishing multi-level database security; applying DoD standards to system development; analyzing network impacts to prepare the system for international deployment; and establishing required DIA Security Standards to obtain a System-High status.
