Informational Conflict: Crisis in Venezuela (Scenario Document in support of the DARPA AIDA Program) V1.1

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to describe a scenario that is part of an open technology evaluation run by the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST), as well as to support several of the research and development goals of the DARPA Active Interpretation of Disparate Alternatives (AIDA) program. In support of planned NIST evaluations, this scenario document is intended to provide a narrative description of the scenario, including the informational conflict that is inherently part of the selected scenario. In the context of this document, a scenario is a real-world situation within a specific subject domain, a situation that is broad enough to encompass multiple events or components, as is the case with international conflicts or natural disasters. To make the scenario more manageable, it is broken down into one or more topics with the exact number of topics dependent on the breadth of the scenario and also the elements of informational conflict that are part of the scenario. In the context of this scenario, a topic is a real-world event about which there are conflicting assertions in the open source data, to include text, audio, images, and video data.
