A Concept Map Knowledge Model of Intelligence Analysis

Abstract

This Technical Report describes a Concept Map (CMap) Knowledge Model (KM) of intelligence analysis developed at DRDC Toronto. The CMap KM consists of a number of interlinked CMaps and over 100 additional resources (such as text documents, images, Internet links, etc.), organized into an interactive hyperlinked system, which serves as a resource depository and provides an easy access to relevant material. The CMap KM captures the research team's conceptual understanding of various issues relevant to intelligence analysis and brings together a number of pertinent topics. The authors? aspiration for this CMap KM is that it might serve as a springboard for further development of concepts essential to intelligence analysis and as a foundation for an intelligence analysis education program.
