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.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
