| Technology can improve U.S. government data management, intelligence data |
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - SearchDataManagement.comEnterprise search to find missing pieces One such technology is enterprise search. Enterprise search allows users to search among an organization's data via keywords regardless of which department or division "owns" the data, said Sid Probstein, CTO at Newtonville, Mass.-based Attivio. "The government has a very real problem filtering through that data to find the pieces that will actually help analysts," Probstein said. "The government needs tools which are able to help organize filtered data." Probstein said Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine, a hybrid enterprise search and data analysis platform, is just such a tool. The platform lets users - intelligence analysts, for example - search both structured and unstructured data from multiple sources, he said; it then returns indexed results that are organized in a way that makes analysis easy. Users can set up queries such that only results that fit particular requirements are returned. This type of technology, had it been in use, might have connected the suspect's name -- which was on a TSA watch list -- with data held on him by the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, prompting an alert to be sent to analysts, Probstein said. |
