intelligence estimate mrs mary margaret graham deputy director of national intelligence for collection posted july 17 2007 by kirby categories uncategorized mrs graham is introduced by mr jardines mrs graham states that everyone all of the players media analysts academics etc have a role in open source she wants to know about the capabilities of open sources that may not have previously identified open source gives a viewpoint that is not secret if we can do open source right we will have a much better understanding of where to spend our classified resources if we can get the answer from the data that is out there why would we spend money on our classified resources we don t have that confidence as yet how many requirements can we answer by open source it is her gut feeling that we will be able to answer some of the questions using purely open sources she says in a perfect world the analyst will be able to log in to one network and look at open sources and classified intelligence at the same time she mentions that a large dollar amount has been spent on classified resources and that the funds will be lower in the future and this is why open source intelligence will be so important we will need to reserve the classified resources for things that can only be collected via secret means she tells an anecdote about wwii where open sources were able to measure a shift in thinking by identifying language used in describing the death of soldiers in germany in 1941 the soldiers where described as having died for the fuhrer the people and the homeland and in 1945 the obituaries described the soldiers as having died only for the homeland what does this mean that understanding is what open source intelligence is about comments 2 comments press coverage posted july 17 2007 by kirby categories uncategorized the following media outlets among others have covered portions or all of the conference and more information can be found on their websites publications and newscasts the new york times cspan fox news cnn abc news the new yorker the washington post us news and world report nbc comments 4 comments dr thomas fingar deputy director of national intelligence for analysis posted july 17 2007 by kirby categories uncategorized mr jardines introduces dr fingar dr fingar states that intelligence today is a lot harder to be an analyst today than in the cold war the two sides were defined today the number of countries and local level politics and many other examples need to be identified in order to answer questions by policy makers in washington military leaders around the world and law enforcement locally they need the answers at the speed of information and unless we can provide those answers that quickly we fail open source intelligence is one of the fastest way to get and give information the effort is to give them something they didn t already know even just tweaking the information that already exists is helpful it is more than googling and more than checking a wiki entry how is it more he says the way in the past to gain information was not to go to the library and troll through the card catalogue but instead to make use of the research librarians the point is to make use of the expert knowledge managers we don t want to suck in all information from everywhere but instead to pinpoint what is useful the goal is to make collecting and organizing information a normal part of the workflow expertise needs to be identified and maintained within the network capturing the information about who and what sources are the best for what question or problem set this knowledge base should be available not only inside the ic but amongst everyone working on the problem just because information is on a classified system does not make it classified we have to make sure that the sharing of this information is useful and rewarded comments comments off on dr thomas fingar deputy director of national intelligence for analysis beyond simple searching posted july 17 2007 by kirby categories uncategorized the moderator for this panel is eric haseltine associate director of national intelligence for science and technology odni the panel john howard deputy associate director of enterprise solutions intelink office of the chief information officer odni james mulvenon director center for intelligence research and analysis defense group inc francis kubala scientist bbn technologies jason hines principal search engineer google dr haseltine discusses the problem with search and the challenge today is there hope mr howard mentions the acronym icabod which is a new program coming soon note we will flesh this acronym out later the point of it is discovery the d at the end the challenge of information discovery is the next major issue to be solved mr kubala of bbn technologies identifies how their methodology and software structures and gives meaning to video audio to text feed technology they are also working on technology that will be able to identify the context of a query and serve up similar or related information and in multiple languages that would not require the analyst to know that language mr mulvenon speaks on the difficulty in searching the internet in chinese he wants to show what cutting edge methodologies they have learned and used in searching for open source intelligence on a difficult subject the first barrier is of course the chinese language finding clearable linguists is a big problem he is finding the average to get a native speaker cleared is 3 to 4 years the chinese internet also has a major firewall that is blocked to foreign ip addresses requiring searching from within china or appearing to be searching from within china he uses blogs and bulletin boards but the technological problem he has had is that they are using locally produced software he goes beyond looking at port 80 browsing but insteadlooks at the plumbing of the internet to assess the holding of certain websites he also combines indigenous mapping websites from china and mashes the information gleaned with google earth he also details creative searching and extrapolating information from the target s neighbors in the case that the original does not have the information accessible to the analyst mr hines states that google takes their mission to make all of the world s information accessible very seriously he discusses the goggle enterprise systems google apps and google enterprise search as well as some of the advanced features such as maps news archives and machine translation services he challenges the open source professionals to come back to google and tell them how they can help the ic be more successful in search comments 3 comments libraries of the future posted july 17 2007 by kirby categories uncategorized the moderator for this session is dan carrigan chair of the ic librarian s consortium the panel consists of chuck henry president council on library and information resources david l osbourne head research section federal research division library of congress richard james king chief librarian of the ruth h hooker research library naval research laboratory diane j white nsa librarian national security agency dr henry speaks from the perspective of higher education and research libraries in general he discusses the roles of computers in dealing with information particularly in the humanities he shows some slides of the way technology is documenting items such as a laser scan of works from michelangelo 3d maps of civil war battles and original and transcripts of civil war diaries he highlights the project survivors of the shoah from steven spielberg the project contains and indexes the visual and vocal histories from holocaust survivors mr king discusses the future of the library as well as examining the library s past and the evolution of scholarly communication dr osbourne speaks about the library of congress and how the federal research division serves open source intelligence to the intelligence community he highlights the critical role played by gray literature in open source intelligence the staff of the frd are all professionals with proficiency in foreign languages as well as training in advanced research methods osint depends on people who can ask the right questions and make the right judgments he also briefly touches on the future of the loc s research environment including digital preservation and collection and particularly at risk born digital content they also intend to expand access through the digital effort note the frd projects are available to the ic on opensource gov ms white approaches the problem of libraries in the future as libraries of tomorrow and the day after and not the future of libraries in a year five years ten years she is a realist and is engrossed in the problems happening right now she discusses using technology to provide resources particularly to get information to the desktop she describes the need to get open sources available from the average analyst s desktop no matter what level of classification his system resides on she wants to enhance collaboration and the need for librarians to assert themselves as the experts and authority in information management access is important beyond the information itself and ic librarians need to learn to navigate new technology and be able to guide their customers she emphasizes that the younger generations digital natives need to be embraced and that librarians are the ideal people to bring the generations together she says that the wikification of everything is happening the authoritative librarians need to jump in and use the tools to further their cause specifically to edit the wikipedia to make it better promote the blogs that are good resources join in the conversations the point is to make sure that people are interested in the library and will use it to enhance the work that they are doing comments comments off on libraries of the future director of national intelligence j m mcconnell posted july 17 2007 by kirby categories uncategorized open source the source of first resort mrs mary margaret graham introduces mr mcconnell mr mcconnell states that this speech is from the heart he gives an overview of the community he wants to leave the community with a much higher level of collaboration we achieve considerably more when we work together he describes the tension involved in change and that the tension needs to be there he also wants to transform analysis to ensure that the final products that come out are the best possible analysis for the customers and the nation he illustrates that the financial community can serve as a model in that they clear people to work within their system within two weeks whereas the ic takes 6 months the difference is the experiences we have been through with spies whereas the financial community can secure their system through keystroke monitoring what we do best is foreign intelligence and is what we have done best through time foreign intelligence has been focused on the cold war but after 9 11 the enemies were foreigners but at the same time could be considered a us person the foreign and domestic integration intelligence is the key that we need to focus on we need to focus on world class expertise and language the threats come from diverse cultures and backgrounds we are going to recruit into our community more first generation americans he wants a more open and public dialogue with the american public and that is one of his goals we ve always paid attention to open source but the challenge is to add value having robustness in the ability to think through the value added as well as access to tools is important mr mcconnell then goes on to describe what he sees as the biggest threats to the united states today primarily terrorism comments comments off on director of national intelligence j m mcconnell alex
