Terrorism Knowledge Base (TKB)

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALSThis consortium project is attempting to use all existing ocean observations, including satellite data, for the purpose of understanding and ultimately predicting, the ocean on climate time-scales. To this end it is advancing ocean "state estimation" as a practical, quasi-operational tool, for studying the ocean circulation and its influence on societal problems such as climate change, sea level rise, and biological impacts. Observing the ocean is difficult owing to its turbulent nature and very large range of energetic spatial scales. This project is establishing the means by which a quantitative description of the global ocean is and will be routinely and continuously available. The methodology employs stateof-the-art general circulation models, statistical estimation techniques, and the complete range of available oceanic observations. The effort includes further demonstration of the practical utility of ocean observing systems through their use in important scientific goals.

Harnessing Cyc to Answer Clinical Researchers' Ad Hoc Queries

“…This same approach has also been applied, in virtually unchanged form, to support queries against a terrorism knowledge base (Deaton et al 2005), corporate financial data, and wireless network activity (Fortuna et al 2009); we call that domain-independent portion of SRA "CAE" for "Cyc Analytic Environment" (Siegel et al 2005). It is supported by systems for knowledge capture that, again, do not require knowledge of the underlying representational target (Schneider et al 2005).…”
