Reuters: U.S. intelligence agencies have created a new computer system dubbed as "intellipedia" based on Wikis to gather input on sensitive topics from analysts across the spy community A "top secret" Intellipedia system, currently available to the 16 agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community, has grown to more than 28,000 pages and 3,600 registered users since its introduction on April 17. Less restrictive versions exist for "secret" and "sensitive but unclassified" material Intellipedia is currently being used to assemble a major intelligence report, known as a national intelligence estimate, on Nigeria as well as the State Department’s annual country reports on terrorism.Inbtelligence officials plans to take to produce the president’s daily intelligence briefing through the new system. However they are doubts about security issues of the new system Two years ago, the CIA launched its own wiki.
Dubbed simply the CIA Wiki,which has some 10,000 classified pages. In January, the DNI followed with a community-wide wiki, dubbed the Intellipedia. The DNI’s National Intelligence Council — which produces the government’s weighty National Intelligence Estimates on key topics — has just launched an experiment to produce the first NIE by wiki. Given the sheer volume of information US Intelligence agencies use they use tools like super smart search engine called Intelligence Value Estimation(IVE).IVE would anticipate research requests, using artificial intelligence to guide analysts to information similar to other documents they’ve worked on. CIA officials in the past year have signed up for some 200 group blogs and 1,500 individual blogs. Thye challenge before intelligence agencies is to make officers use the system and respond to it, protect the data and make public to contribute in the wiki What are wikis? A wiki is simply a web page that can be written or edited by the public or a group of peoplethe first wiki software creating the WikiWikiWeb in 1995 as a resource and collaborative environment for the early wiki community.
