The Role and Challenges of Open Source Web Intelligence

The Internet can be a valuable information resource for law enforcement, national security, intelligence, and other government agencies in their efforts to neutralize terror and crime. The Internet is probably the largest source of data today, with the potential to provide valuable, real-time intelligence from social networking sites, information agencies, governmental sources, commercial sources, and a variety of other organizations. 

However, agencies face many challenges in transforming Internet content into Actionable Intelligence:  huge quantities of structured and unstructured information, deep Web content, applications, languages, and types of media, coupled with the constant risk that investigations will be exposed.
