Open Source Information Forum (OSIF) Wednesday, 13 July 2005
We Believe • Open Source is a crucial intelligence that must be well captured to empower today’s analysts and policymakers • An IC open source program must capture the world’s developments, regardless of country, language, subject, or relationship to today’s intelligence priorities – it must “capture history” in a usable way • Both the IC analyst and the collector must be taught to use and collect this information using today’s best practices • Any collection systems must be tailored to the unique needs of the IC focusing on a complete definition of requirements, industry best-practices input, and architectural competition.
