Scenario-driven system for open source intelligence

Abstract

The system that performs information integration based on formalized scenarios is presented. Heterogeneous data are collected from different sources, transformed and integrated in the course of a process supervised by a user (here a police analyst). The data comes from generally accessible sources, thus the presented system follows an open-source intelligence paradigm. The core of the paper is introduction to the system idea and functionality. All considerations are illustrated with an exemplary pedophilia content localization scenario. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
