Re: tools used by intelligence analysts

This is very useful, thanks for sharing.

There's a mostly-annual semantic technology conference called STIDS (Semantic Technology for Intelligence, Defense, and Security), formerly called OIC (Ontologies for the Intelligence Community). First day is public, second day is secret. Focuses on using semantic network technologies for national security issues. http://stids.c4i.gmu.edu/index.php The list of sponsors and vendors, and most of the presentations are from companies talking about how well their products work, are useful to find out companies that analyze various metadata. It's funny how many are based on open source technologies, like Semantic MediaWiki. :-)
