Computer-Assisted Declassification Review (CoDeR)

Modus Operandi is already responsible for the digital conversion of physical records at the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), handling the conversion and enrichment, indexing and cataloging content for rapid search and retrieval, controlling access through user permissions, and providing personnel the ability to automate, create, and manage metadata.The current AFDO review workflow will be evaluated against existing workflows and be refined to support the inclusion of automated tools and processes.The first half of the Phase I technical work will consist of an analysis of alternatives (AoA) of appropriate digitization tools, scanning equipment, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applications to meet the AFDO digitization mission.A separate AoA will focus on process automation and review assisting tools to optimize the entire review process.The proposed effort will culminate in a proof of concept demonstration of costs saving tools within a process like that used by AFDO.This will inform an early concept design of the Phase II CoDeR prototype that will be accredited for pilot deployment.
