Abstract

To address the DHS need for intelligent symbology technologies, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop new Web-based Intelligent
Symbology Extraction based on Context (WISEC) incorporating intelligent text stream processing (ITSP), an entity-attribute-value (EVA) model, and
progressive automatic creation of symbology (PACS). The WISEC will offer intelligent symbology generation, updating, and management that interact
with structured or unstructured data sources, identify keywords and named entities, generate or update appropriate symbols, coreference
activities/incidents, store them in a central database with no downtime, and provide information relevant to the interest and mission of the end user. In
Phase I, we will demonstrate the feasibility of the WISEC by developing its architecture and components and integrating them into a prototype for
testing and evaluation in two scenarios: intelligent symbology for crime alerts (iPAD application) and intelligent symbology for public safety alerts
(Web application). Performance metrics will be developed. At the end of Phase I, the technology readiness level (TRL) reached will be 3. In Phase II we
plan to develop a WISEC prototype, integrate it with popular browsers and geospatial applications, test it using public data sources, evaluate it using
the performance metrics developed, and deliver it to the DHS. The successful completion of this project at the end of Phase III will benefit the nation in
both government and commercial sectors by providing intelligent symbology with standard data representation that is sharable among various
communities. Commercial applications for this technology include business intelligence, text analytics, and enterprise content management and
archiving.
