Significant Issue: Markup Tools
•Consumer-based markup tool needed soon
•Culture = analysts too busy to do any more work, including markup, unless
–Its very easy to do
–There is clear value to producers (not consumers)
–Someone measures them on the quality/quantity of markup
•Produce knowledge objects from the outset, format from these objects, including English text documents
–Will only work in limited cases, when reports are sufficiently structured
–Expressibility limitations at odds with identifying the unusual, which is an important task in intelligence
–Make key points as knowledge objects, embellish with natural language & use embellishment to improve ontologies
