Joe Rockmore Presentationon Data Integration

• Paradigm Shifts in the IC:– Ontology/ Data Model Then, and Knowledge Base

Now.– Search, Retrieve, Extract, and Analyze Then, Versus

Search, Facts, Analyze Facts, and Retrieve Data and Documents if Needed Now.

– Data Conditioned and Correlated (ETL) Then, Versus Data Integrated and Enhanced Now (Enhancements).

– Estimate 160M pieces of intelligence a day.
