This is a very early stage effort to look at ways in which we can
model the human mediated process of transforming data (in whatever
form -- text, images, video, etc) into information that can be used
by a decision maker.
I'm doing this in support of a US Govt. Program called AQUAINT (see
http://www.ic-arda.org/InfoExploit/aquaint), and at this stage am
mostly just gathering data about any work that has been done in the
general area.
The nominal objective is to develop an "Intelligence Production
Process Ontology" (IPPO) that can be used to provide a framework in
which the design and evaluation of advanced Question Answering
systems can be embedded. A key issue for such systems is the notion
of "context" and I believe that an IPPO would allow us to talk about
context in a meaningful and useful way.
I suspect the details of what we're trying to do are outside the
scope of this forum, but I'd certainly be interested in a general
discussion about such processes. I was actually hoping that someone
was further along in their thinking about this than I am :-)
Thanks, Richard
