Feasibility of Automating FIWC Website Noncompliance Monitoring and Enforcement Activities
Abstract
For written word to reach the public in hardcopy form, a manuscript is submitted to a publisher After numerous review and modification cycles, the document is printed and distributed, often through intermediaries. Finally, it reaches the hands and eyes of perhaps thousands. This contrasts dramatically with the Internet where, within minutes of completion, text can be seen by millions. The Internet offers enormous research power with a PC and a phone line, one can locate a recipe for delicious meringue or deadly ricin; can research a thesis or the step-by-step fabrication of a thermonuclear device. Recognizing the potential for misuse as well as for intoning the public, the Department of Defense charged each of its agencies with the responsibility of policing content and form of that agency's publicly accessible websites. As the United States Navy command responsible for this daunting assignment, FIWC faces a job that grows in complexity and size by the day. Taking on this problem manually would result, at best, in unitary growth of dedicated resources and a similar growth in potential for error, both of oversight and of inappropriate action. This thesis provides one approach to automating FIWC's website monitoring and enforcement activities, The approach it advocates is focused on reducing manpower and increasing accuracy. This architecture - a generic model with a GUI database front end - is presented, not as an ultimate solution, but rather as a solid first step,
