So we have a group within the office that is devoted to support for the war fighter. That's, of necessity, an operational and tactical level of concern.

One is to ensure that the war fighters and the intelligence analysts get the information that they need when they need it, in a format that's useful to them.

There is a reasonable concern that posting raw data can be misleading for those who are not trained in its use and who do not have the broader perspective within which to place a particular piece of data that is raw.

Our focus is on outputs rather than inputs.

Over the course of two years, we arrived at a point where we began to look at the value added by making information more easily accessible across the intelligence community, both defense and national.

When you live in a networked environment, it's possible to separate data from applications.

In other words, by finding the anomalous event, what you do is you get out ahead of activities.
