Semantic Web Implementation for Marines (SWIM)Customer: United States Navy, Office of Naval Research (ONR) User: United States Marine Corps (USMC) Description: The SWIM software organizes information from multiple sources and makes the data accessible via a web-browser. Analysts who create SIGINT and HUMINT reports use SWIM to develop a social network graph of targeted individuals, identify possible participants in past events, monitor situations for indications of future events, and identify patterns of activity (event chains) based on reported events and potentially identify an individual’s role in an organization based on their involvement in these event chains. SWIM turns data into connected intelligence, using two core Tango constructs: a) the semantic engine links data from multiple sources and makes that information accessible to applications, and b) the semantic wiki (web-based) answers contextual questions important to tactical forces. The semantic wiki helps analyst’s organize and exploit unstructured documents, and link the resulting information with other sources to form a semantic graph of individuals, organizations and events. To support semantic interoperability SWIM exports data in various formats, such as Web Ontology Language (OWL)/Resource Description Framework (RDF) to share and reuse information with other analytical tools and systems. |
