Defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies collect a tremendous volume of raw data. For these agencies, the fast, accurate analysis of this raw data to produce actionable intelligence is vital to their national security missions. With the increasing flow of textual content – emails, field reports, immigration records, open source content streams, Web content, and the like – government agencies are forced to reevaluate their analysis strategies. What may have worked before is no longer viable. Solutions based on open, industry-standard XML technologies are providing more powerful ways to integrate, discover, analyze, and share actionable intelligence.
