Abstract: The DefenseLINK Locator is the GILS database for the Department of Defense(DoD). The Locator is a service which can help you identify public Department of Defense information sources. Within the Locator there are several types of records. Most records point to a Web Information Service (i.e., Home Page), or publication, or a document. But some of the records describe automated information systems. The information in this latter class of records is provided to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act, which stipulates that all automated information systems must be reported to the public. The list of all automated information systems is maintained by the individual Service or Defense Agency. But a subset of these systems are also reported here. The only automated information systems that are being reported here are those that have been selected as migration systems, that is, major systems designated for use Department of Defense wide. The Locator contains browsable indexes of DoD holdings and is also searchable by keyword/field.
Purpose: The purpose of the DefenseLINK Locator is to provide the public with a single, unified starting point for public information about the Department of Defense. The DefenseLINK Locator provides direct access to the Information Services established by each military department and defense organizations.
