Automated Assistance with Metadata Generation (A2MG) Tools for PBA/IPB

Chiliad's Phase I effort will design enhancements, extensions, and integrations of a successful concept recognition and metadata generation capability, already deployed successfully across the FBI. This software provides enterprise-wide data fusion; contextual search; full text analysis; on-the-fly concept recognition; automatic metadata generation and extraction; dynamic knowledge navigation and discovery; and task-driven collaboration across decentralized information sources and servers. Having already purchased a worldwide enterprise license to Chiliad Discovery, the FBI has been pushing the technology envelope for dynamic analysis across distributed collections of full-text messages and documents, merged with structured data from relational databases. This software is deployed to a user community of over 6,000 in an operational system providing unified analysis over a classified network to more than 85 million full-text documents and RDBMS records across multiple Bureau programs. Enhancements will include the capability to import and export standards-based ontologies; additional user tools to enable analysts to easily and rapidly create new concept types and named entities for automated extraction in conformance with XML standards; Web Services extensions; and tight integration of COTS visualization software. These dynamic techniques provide more unified views by connecting the dots across distributed sources of unstructured and structured data located on multiple decentralized server systems to reveal and exploit explicit, implicit, and tacit knowledge and facilitate more informed and effective data-driven decision making.
