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 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tailored push; also pull (“My
Intelink”), including changes of sufficient magnitude |
|
Subscriptions and data descriptions for
matching against subscriptions may be best done using hierarchical ontologies |
|
Crawlers of value, but may have access
control issues |
|
Uncertainty of data (both by source and
about source) |
|
Inference-based retrieval of
information |
|
Pedigree critical to maintain |
|
Indexing of markup important for speed
of access |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tie collection, processing, production
together |
|
A common markup language will enhance
collection, thus optimizing use of intel sources |
|
Producers and consumers have different
ways of looking at the world, not necessarily a mapping between them |
|
Can consumers provide tasking to
producers, via markup of requirements on collection? |
|
Info data needs from UJTL tasks or
other statement of data needs |
|
Will DAML markup allow semantic
understanding of information enough to affect releasability processes? |
|
|
|
|
Military and intelligence users, beyond
those at this workshop, that particularly should hear about DAML: |
|
NIMA Agent-Based Initiative |
|
Information consumers (e.g., service
ops centers) |
|
SOCOM |
|
SPACECOM, NIPC (computer network
defense) |
|
NCS |
|
Recommendations—How do organizations
understand what DAML products/approaches could help them? |
|
Focused TIE’s with appropriate
producers and consumers around specific value propositions |
|
Organize DAML web site by
functionality; describe capability, maturity, etc. Make more useful. Also,
need contract approach synopses and status. |
