Intelligence Reform:The Logic of Information Sharing Calvert Jones School of Information University of California, Berkeley
Information Sharing in Perspective • Intelligence after Pearl Harbor • How to prevent surprise attacks? • Information as Intelligence • Adapting to the information age? • The 9/11 Commission’s information-centric logic • Creating an “Information Sharing Environment” (ISE)
Limitations of Information Sharing • Loss of contextual richness • Persistent security concerns • Empowered through information access? • Reduced diversity
Conclusions • Will the free flow of information foster a robust marketplace of ideas, thus improving intelligence analysis? • Sense-making and interpretation • How can we promote meaningful information sharing, without sacrificing diversity, contextual richness, and security? “Information wants to be free.” -John Perry Barlow
