Multi-domain data integration for criminal intelligence

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to discuss the problem of heterogeneous data integration in LINK – a decision-support system for criminal analysis. In order to integrate and analyze various data sources, an object-based data model is proposed for each analyzed domain. From the technological side, this concept is supported by the component-oriented approach and tools (such as Eclipse RCP), which allow for flexible adding new domain objects. To verify the realized concept, a simple case study is given as an example of the integration results.
