Abstract

While recent efforts in cross-domain information sharing have developed platforms and infrastructure for information sharing, they do not address the question of the content of the information that is being shared. This project will develop the latter capability: identifying information that is (i) relevant and (ii) sharable. This is a key problem in "just enough" data sharing, especially in crisis situations when there is not enough time available for human users to make this determination. We propose an innovative approach to semi-manual and automatic "information review" that can: (i) identify documents that should/shouldn't be shared, given the topical relevance of those parts to the users and task context, and (ii) identify parts of documents that should/should not be shared, based on security level of the domain and potential users. Our approach will enable development of an "intelligent information sharing assistant" (IISA) which will help cooperating groups share information in an operational setting without cognitive overload.
