Lexical Link Analysis Application: Improving Web Service to Acquisition Visibility Portal

Abstract

DoD acquisition is an extremely complex system, comprised of myriad stakeholders, processes, people, activities, and organizational structures. Processes within this complex system are encumbered by the continuous development of large amounts of unstructured and unformatted acquisition program data, difficult to aggregate across the enterprise. Yet acquisition analysts and decision-makers must analyze all types and spectrums of the available data to obtain a complete and comprehensible picture. This can be a daunting task. We have applied a data-driven automation system and methodology, namely, lexical link analysis (LLA), to facilitate acquisition researchers and decision-makers to recognize important connections (concepts) that form patterns derived from dynamic, ongoing data collection, analysis, and decision making.
