Mihai Boicu, Gheorghe D. Tecuci, David A. Schum · 2008
Abstract—This paper presents results on developing a general intelligence analysis ontology which is part of the knowledge base of Disciple-LTA, a unique and complex cognitive assistant for evidence-based hypothesis analysis that helps an intelligence analyst cope with many of the complexities of intelligence analysis. It introduces the cognitive assistant and overviews the various roles and the main components of the ontology: an ontology of “substance-blind ” classes of items of evidence, an ontology of believability analysis credentials, and an ontology of actions involved in the chains of custody of the items of evidence. Index Terms—cognitive assistant, ontology, evidence-based hypothesis analysis, types of items of evidence, chains of custody
