Top Secret Only: The Library of National Intelligence (LNI)

Top Secret: The Library of National Intelligence (LNI)
Federated search and info retrieval comes to the intelligence community.

The CIA will launch a new service Sept. 7 on its top-secret network that will integrate all its intelligence information into a single view.

This new service, called CIA Wire, will underpin the agency’s contribution to the Library of National Intelligence (LNI), an initiative the intelligence community will launch by Oct. 31, said Gus Hunt, the CIA’s executive agent for LNI.

He said users with top-secret clearances can search metadata and receive indexed search results through a Web interface. Hunt said employees must use a digital certificate through a public-key infrastructure to access the site. The intelligence community will also be able to measure the effect of the searches and audit who uses LNI and how.
