ONTOLOGY FOR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY

OIC 2008 CONFERENCE

Towards Effective Exploitation and Integration
      of Intelligence Resources



CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Keynote Speakers:
Deborah McGuinness
Michael Gruninger

The tasks of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence grow more complex with every year, the emergence of new technologies and new types of threats. New approaches are required to enable greater flexibility, precision, timeliness and automation of analysis in response to rapidly evolving threats. Ontology-based technology as applied in areas such as bioinformatics has demonstrated the possibility of gains along all of these dimensions. The time is ripe to extend these gains to other spheres.

This conference will bring together experts on ontology-based technology with particular experience in the problems facing the intelligence community. It will feature invited talks from prominent ontologists and intelligence community leaders, as well as submitted papers focusing especially on the creation of public-domain ontology resources to support the work of intelligence analysts.

Registration is now open. Register soon - earlybird rate ends November 11.
